Renselaer (IDN if i spelled that correctly)</p>

<p>Fordham is not worth your stats, unless you just want to be in NYC....but it's a good enough safety.</p>

<p>sorry.. forgot to add physic Honors to the mix</p>

<p>nd i plan to go into dentistry... if that helps any.
Dream College: Columbia. (they have a dance team, maybe that could help me???)</p>

<p>what?? Do i smell or sumthing?? Is that it? Is it why no one is writing anything? lol.</p>

<p>Once again, the Ivies go by rank. Do you know where you rank in your class and how large your graduating class is? Also, you need at least three SAT IIs for Columbia University--so how do you expect to do on the third one? </p>

<p>Based upon what you posted so far, I have to make lots of guesses. Presuming you are at 5.15/5.6, that 's a 92% score, or about a 3.65 GPA U/W and a rank of about 50/400. Obviously, you could be a lot higher since you are taking all APs and honors courses and if everybody else is also, then you are maybe 40/400 rank and therefore at the 90% level in your class ranking. I'm going to use these last numbers for my chances estimates.</p>

<p>Presuming you get your SAT I scores up to 1980 (not 2000), and that your final SAT is quite a bit better than the lowest one you have so far (Math IIC of 650--so I'll presume you get a 700 on the last one), your AI score is still only 200. Since the cutoff for the Ivies last year was around 211, you have less than a 30% chance of getting in at Columbia University. </p>

<p>Amherst is also a reach since the average SATs there are 722/721 with a 3.85 GPA U/W. At Vassar you have a slightly better chance since the average GPA is 3.8 U/W with SATs of 698/670--but most people will not have taken as many honors courses as you. I'd say match to slight reach.</p>

<p>Renssalaer I'd say match, although the GPA is slightly low, the SATs are above average--and like I said, the honors courses are immense. NYU should be a match, but the school you are applying for (theatre arts) is one of the toughest along with the Stern Business School. If you are good with your dancing--or not applying for this program (you mentioned dentistry), then you chances are much better. So I'd say match to slight reach for theatre arts, match for college of arts and sciences. Fordham is a safety. The GPA is way above their average as are the SAT scores.</p>

<p>Lastly, Stony Brook--safety to safe match.</p>

<p>Also, if my estimate on GPA and rank is off--then repost and I'll redo the chances. Also, post the SAT I and SAT II scores if I'm way off on my estimates--and I'll redo the chances then also.</p>

<p>Good luck to you.</p>

<p>Im not going to be applying to art schools. Im looking for liberal arts/general studies. Im looking to go into science. And SATIIs are an option. My school does not rank. AI? Athletic index??</p>

<p>oh academic index... yeah cool thanx for the feedback... anyone else??</p>

<p>by the way.. i would like you all take note that my school's gpa system is very screwed up. It is impossible to get the perfect 6 when you concider all the required courses. The highest one culd get in a regular class is a 4, honors 5, and AP 6.</p>

<p>renssalaer AND vassar? are you sure you'd be happy at both of those schools?</p>

<p>i kinda like vassar. My friends say the campus is very beautiful. And it got a lot of reviews stating that the professors are very kind and supportive. Is there something i should know about it??</p>

<p>I dont know about renssalaer, its a pretty good school, but then again, it IS a polytechnic. It is actually a big maybe?</p>

<p>My school ranking according to favoratism:
Columbia (amherst, but i think its way too impossible for me to get in)
NYU
Vassar
Stony Brook/Renssalaer
Forham</p>

<p>If u got anything interesting to say about any of these colleges, give me a holla! Thanx</p>

<p>por que no hay nadie que quiere escribir nada??</p>

<p>Old SAT: CR 580 Math 690 Writing 550
New SAT: CR 640 Math 680 Writing 650
Any thoughts? Still sux,i know</p>
