<p>Engineering major so if the university has a separate college let me know of chances for that</p>

<p>If you guys can give it to me as a % for each school. I have posted before but that was for different schools.
Schools: University of Maryland College Park, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Johns Hopkins University, Boston College, Tufts, University of Pennsylvania, Case Western Reserve, Cornell</p>

<p>University of Maryland College Park -Safety
University of Maryland Baltimore County- Safety
Johns Hopkins University- Match
Boston College-Low Match
Tufts-Match
University of Pennsylvania-Reach
Case Western Reserve-Match/Low Match
Cornell- Reach</p>

<p>University of Maryland College Park -Safety
University of Maryland Baltimore County- Safety
Johns Hopkins University- REACH
Boston College-Low Match
Tufts-Match
University of Pennsylvania-Reach
Case Western Reserve-match/almost could be considered a safety, but not really
Cornell- reach</p>

<p>disagreements w/ the above poster are IN CAPS.</p>

<p>800 on SAT math is good; higher scores for reading/writing would be good. Starting a math club= also good. I only say Johns Hopkins is a reach because I'm a conservative estimator. You have an excellent shot.</p>

<p>BTW, I'm probably not telling you anything you haven't already figured out yourself.</p>

<p>you guys are actually telling me some new stuff. I always thought that Tufts and BC were way out of my league and I was applying there for **** and giggles. Tufts would be a really great opprotunity as would BC since I love the area</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins and Tufts are both reaches, though a bit less so than UPenn. BC is a high match. Good luck!</p>

<p>what we need is a bump and add boston university to the list</p>

<p>BU is a safety</p>

<p>bump in here</p>
