<p>No Ivies or SMD. Seriously?</p>

3

<p>Can't get into ivies
What's SMD? I hope it's not what I'm thinking LOL</p>

4

<p>bump for tonite!</p>

5

<p>your def in at cuny honors (Macaulay right?)</p>

6

<p>yea, macaulay honors
a lot of ppl have been telling me i cudnt get in tho because of my low gpa</p>

7

<p>i'm thinking SMD is Stanford, _____ and Duke. anyone want to fill in the blank? maybe MIT? i dunno...</p>

8

<p>I talked to students in the program, and they said I could get it (similar stats to you, check out my chances thread). You'll do fine, enjoy that $7500 stipend and the macbook.</p>

9

<p>Aim higher, much higher! You have an excellent SAT score, extracurricular activities, and you go to one of the best public high schools in the country, which surely holds some weight. You can definitely get into a top 100 school, and most likely a top 50 school!</p>

10

<p>CUNY Honors is very difficult to get into!
I doubt I can go anywhere with my GPA</p>

11

<p>CUNY system ftw! My mom went to Baruch!</p>

<p>Anyways, still, you have great SAT scores and your GPA isn't half bad! Perhaps look into NYU, Fordham, or Pace?</p>
