<p>Nice GPA and EC’s but your SAT I’s are a bit low, should probably use your ACT’s. (Retake SAT or ACT and try to get them higher for a better chance)</p>

<p>I don’t know much about some of those colleges, but as for the ones I do know about:</p>

<p>AU: Match
NYU: high match/low reach (need higher scores on standardized tests)
Syracuse: low match
NorthEastern: low match
Boston Univ: Match
Wake Forest: high match </p>

<p>I don’t really chance people…I just give the school data sets, and you should decide for yourself whether or not to apply.
You said that you are probably only going to submit your ACT score…make sure that the school does not require you to send in all of your testing scores.
You may have already done this but have you run the net price calculator for all of these schools yet?
Also, you need some safeties on your list alot of these schools have sub-50% acceptance rates; you need to find some schools that 1) you wouldn’t mind attending 2) you know would accept you.
Add some public schools to your list that you wouldn’t mind attending. </p>

<p>I’m a BU student in Health Sciences, there is no “Public Health” undergrad degree at BU or Northeastern I believe, this was supposedly done for political reasons at least at BU. Just thought you maybe should know that. </p>
