<p>Thanks for chancing me =)
Vassar is one of the top ten liberal arts schools in the US; it’s located in Poughkeepsie, New York. (~2 hour drive from NYC)</p>

<p>IDK about Amherst- one of the most selective in the nation. I say low chances there. Vasser, OTOH, is looking for guys. I think yes. Cornell, maybe. Which school? Case and BU, yes.</p>

8

<p>Hotel Administration school at Cornell.
Also, just retake the SAT I. Expecting 2180-2250.</p>

<p>I would put your chances at:</p>

<p>Amherst: 40% (would be 20% without ED/EA)
Vassar: 90% (would be 80% without ED/EA)
Cornell: 30%
Case Western: 80%
Boston: 90% (would be 80% without legacy)</p>

<p>I think you have pretty good chances. Definitely do Amherst early, since it’s the #1 liberal arts college.</p>

<p>P.S. Chance me! My message is titled “My chances? (math track).” Thanks!</p>

<p>Just as an update, I was accepted everywhere I applied and am going to Vassar on a 44k-a-year scholarship =)</p>
