<p>Sorry to say this, but for JHU and UChicago, those SATs are way too low. I’d aim for 2100-2250 for those. If they are your dream schools, studying shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

<p>Safety: Your state school (w/ good financial aid)</p>

<p>Match: University of Pittsburgh, Boston University</p>

<p>Reach: Northwestern (again, get those SATs up!), UNC Chapel Hill (more realistic than N.W.)</p>

3

<p>isn’t boston university really easy to get into? And sorry, ignore the part where I said those are my dream schools. I just want ppl to create a list, so I can see where I really fall.</p>

4

<p>Safety: Fordham, John Hopkins (my friend got in with a 3.2 gpa)
Match: Northeastern, BU, NYU
Reach: Northwestern, Boston College</p>

5

<p>

</p>

<p>John Hopkins is not a safety for anyone. I would hesitate to list Fordham as a safety.</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>Not chemical engineering? Job and career prospects for chemical engineering are much better than for chemistry.</p>

<p>JHU and Chicago are both reaches. Get your SAT/ACT scores up! You need to get each SAT section over 700 and the ACT over 30 (whic should be easy for you)</p>

<p>Safety: UH at Manoa, UPitt, State School, and yes, you should get financial aid
Match: UDel, UM-College Park, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Boston University, UMass-Amherst, UNCG
Reach: UNC at Chapel Hill, University of Miami, University of Florida</p>
