<p>In another thread didn’t you have a 3.7 and a 1700. Nevertheless, that isn’t a big difference anyway. With your scores stated in this post, you will probably only be rejected from BC and Columbia.</p>

3

<p>my scores now are more updated plus my SAT is super scored and my last one was not</p>

4

<p>Lol they got updated in a day. Well my chances still stand.</p>

5

<p>no i just super scored and calculated my grades for the end of this year…</p>

6

<p>that’s why I re - did my post </p>

<p>It seems like you’ve got some great ECs but you need to work on your SAT if you want to get into some of those schools. Without bringing them up, many of the schools on your list will be a reach, especially BC and Colombia. Alternatively, study like crazy or try the ACT to bring it up. If you aren’t good at standarized tests, you should know that BC requires 2 SAT subject tests for admission, so something to consider.</p>

8

<p>You will get into TCNJ.
You have zero chance at Columbia, BC or BU.
You have only marginal chance at Villanova.</p>

9

<p>but why? Can you guys advice on getting there?</p>

10

<p>Unhooked 1800’s simply do not get into Columbia, BU or BC.
You’re nearly 500 points away from be competitive for Columbia.
300 points away from BC and 200 points away from BU.</p>

11

<p>You need to look at much less selective schools. Your stats are just not at the level of an ivy league candidate. If you can get your SAT to a 2300, you still will probably NOT get in but at least you will be a competitive applicant. Currently you stand no chance because people who get in with the lackluster scores had truly amazing extracurriculars.</p>

<p>TCNJ and Villanova accepted me with 97% weighted GPA and 1820 superscore. </p>

13

<p>Wait is 3.8 your WGPA or UWGPA?</p>

14

<p>Yeah is weighted because almost all my classes are honors. </p>

15

<p>Well colleges only look at unweighted except for the UCs.</p>

16

<p>but naviance shows my weighted as my unweighted and that’s what it does for the college gpas that it shows </p>

17

<p>Colleges only look at unweighted. Your Naviance may be wrong. If your gpa isn’t out of 4.0, something needs to be recalculated to make it UW</p>
