<p>What are my chances (safety,match,reach)?</p>
<li>University of Washington (in state) - </li>
<li>Pepperdine University </li>
<li>Boston University </li>
<li>University of Miami FL </li>
<li>Santa Clara University - </li>
<li>University of San Diego - </li>
<li>Wake Forest University - </li>
<li>Northeastern University (lagacy) - </li>
<li>Loyola Marymount University (ea) - </li>
</ol>
<p>I think Washington and NE are your best bets. A 25 is probably competitive but a bit low for Pepperdine (they only accepted 27% lat year) I'm no expert on BU (What is the fascination with that place? Someone please tell me)
You may have a shot at Miami, but it's kind of a stretch at 40% last yr.
Not familiar w/ Santa Clara and San Diego, MarymountI would guess you'd be fine, although i have the impression Marymount is hard to get into.
WF will be a stretch with a 25. If you get around a 30, things will look better. They're getting more and more difficult these days, with the football team improving, and with the #17 biz. school.
NE again, I think is your best bet, being a legacy</p>
<p>I guess i'll bump this thread up by saying that Pepperdine is really into ECs involving service. It's religious affiliation goes along with that. You've got a sufficient amount of service to mention, which will help significantly. Also, if you haven't already, you may wish to finish your essays for Pepperdine and Wake Forest early. They take a significant amount of time to complete, and they are unique to those universities (as opposed to the Common App.) Both app.s include several (intensive) short answer questions.
I applied to several of your top ten, it would be cool if we eneded up at the same place!!!!</p>

<p>Given that you have never explained the discrepancy between the 25 ACT score you claim here and the 30 ACT score you have claimed in other threads, why should anyone waste their time on someone who gives inconsistent statements of his/her qualifications? We've got better things to do than try to figure out why your story changes and why you won't explain this striking disparity.</p>
