hi guys! I was wondering if someone could give me my expected chances in their opinion at the following schools. I know some of these are a reach, but here is the list and my stats:
- Vanderbilt
-tufts
-NYU
-GW
-BU
I have a 3.64 weighted at an accelerated high school program, taking nearly all AP/Honors. SAT: 1450, and ACT: 31. To summarize my EC, I am on the executive board for Biology Club, SHS, Physics Club. AP Exam scores are all 3’s with the exception of 2’s in biology and physics. I am also out of state for all of these listed universities. Would a stellar essay affect my chances? Thank you very much, I appreciate the time taken to assist me.
Your list seems reachy. All of these are private schools, so OOS does not matter. What is your unweighted GPA, calculated on a 4 point scale, core classes only?
However, I forgot to mention. Never give up!
unweighted is a 3.29, however my course load is all magnet/AP classes
I can’t chance you, but think Vandy and Tufts are highly unlikely with your GPA/Test score combo and would drop those. BU, NYU are high reaches, GW a reach, maybe high match. For admittance to all of these schools, you will be competing against many students who have higher GPAs in curriculums of high rigor. Do you have match and safety schools on your broader list? You will probably need 4-6 matches and 1-3 safeties. What state are you in?
