I'm beginning to feel a little hopeless :(. Chance Me?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So, I have been panicking over the last few weeks. First, I was rejected from Cornell-AEM (ED) and deferred from Villanova-VSB (EA). So far, I have only gotten into state universities, Rutgers-RBS and Penn State-Smeal.</p>

<p>I am doubting my chances of getting into other schools I have applied to: Babson, BU, BC, George Washington, UMich, NYU.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?? Could you assess me on information posted below?</p>

<p>I’d be surprised if you didn’t get into NYU. You have great ECs and a decent SAT. Your GPA being a little on the low side, and the lack of other supplement test scores was most likely the reason why you were rejected from Cornell. However, your chances at the other colleges you applied to are decent and I’m almost positive you’ll get into NYU. Don’t worry so much. You’re a good candidate and you should be fine.</p>
