<p>Thank you so much CCers!!</p>

<p>Your EC's seem a bit weak. Nothing extraordinary. no rank/gpa? Your ACT is really low man. Might wanna work on that</p>

3

<p>I'd say you're into everything but duke... your ACT is decent. Work on that science and math score. You might need a little more leadership in your ECs, but you're not bad</p>

4

<p>Wyoming gives you a nice bump.........most schools would like students from every state and your's isn't too well represented so they will all look at you.</p>

5

<p>I think your list is reasonable - you have likelies, matches and long shots. What is a Box Girl?</p>

6

<p>Anyone else? My class rank is 1/165 or so and I have a 4.00 (school does not weight GPA).</p>

7

<p>Bump......</p>

8

<p>All but Duke.</p>

9

<p>she has a shot at duke, though it is a reach</p>

10

<p>You have NO chance. Sorry. Duke might be a reach.......................</p>

11

<p>Bump.........</p>

12

<p>you will do JUST fine my possum</p>

13

<p>Anyone besides PrincetonFreak?</p>

14

<p>If you have a 4.0 and are first in the class, I think you're into BU, BC, American U, GW, and Northeastern with little problem. Duke is still a reach, like others said. ACT is a little on the low side but many schools are not weighing standardized tests as much these days.</p>

15

<p>Your act is definitely NOT low for BU or GW.</p>

16

<p>I'm just a student but heres my conjecture:
Boston College - match
Boston U. - slight reach/match
Wellesley - slight reach/ reach (great school by the way)
Mt. Holyoke - not sure for this 1
Duke - reach/you never know (these days its so random)
William and Mary - not sure (good school)
U. of Mary Washington - ionno
George Washington - slight reach/match
Middlebury - ionno
American U. - match/maybe even safety
Northeastern - match/safety</p>

<p>those are unprofessional guesses. I'm basing my decisions from the pple who've been accepted/rejected at my school.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

17

<p>Oh any if your ranks 1 that might help if your schools decently competitive.</p>

18

<p>H20nline, BU is definitely easier to get into than BC. BU would be a match/safety for a valedictorian from wyoming with a 30 ACT. Boston College would be a match/reach, but I think she has a great chance.</p>

19

<p>think i mixed them up sry~</p>

20

<p>BU and BC are very comparable.</p>
