<p>Please critique my statistics, both negatives and positives. Thanks for reading and submitting your opinion/evalutations! I really appreciate it! </p>

<p>I see inflation at your school.</p>

<p>You should have little problem with PSU, but you'll really need to raise your SATs for CMU.</p>

<p>well, to be honest, I would suggest that you take the SAT again in October b/c that's the only thing you really need to improve. w/ what you have right now, you can definately get into Rutgers, Penn State, and possibly NYU. Columbia might be a stretch.</p>

<p>Carnegie-Mellon- reach
Columbia- rejected
Cornell- rejected
Johns Hopkins- rejected
NYU- reach
Penn State - Univ. Park- match
Rutgers - New Brunswick- match</p>
