<p>Appreciate all ur help ;-)</p>

<p>5.14? out of what?</p>

3

<p>Wow, your school has a ridiculous weighting scheme.</p>

4

<p>Whats your gpa scale,and do you know your class rank? A random number doesnt help us evaluate how you are academically</p>

5

<p>which schools are on your list so far?</p>

6

<p>um... 5.14 out of six but its impossible to get a perfect six. I think the highest anyone can possibly get is either a 5.5 or 5.7. Ive been getting As and A-s for the most part. Ive have two years of b/b+s in english, and 2 yrs of b+s in global history, otherwise, everything else is in the A range.</p>

<p>So far, i have Fordham, NYU, Columbia (BIG REACH), Vassar, Stony Brook, mmaaayyyybbeee amherst (BIG REACH),</p>

7

<p>So on a 4.0 scale, we're looking at about a 3.43 here with a 1270 SAT.</p>

<p>Fordham is a safety, as is Stony Brook. Everything else is a likely rejection, although a shot at NYU. Amherst, Columbia and Vassar would be a waste of an application fee.</p>

8

<p>i disagree about vassar. Vassar may claim to want high SAT scores, but in actuality, it weighs one's transcript much more heavily than SATs. People i know that had good grades, and have absolutely horrid sat scores got into vassar.</p>

9

<p>you might want to look at CUNY for a safety. They have a good business/econ program and are in the heart of the city. (and my dad teaches there and he's awesome)</p>

10

<p>unfortunately, i agree that amherst and columbia are way out of reach.</p>

11

<p>well, i was thinking columbia as a reach, bc they are pretty big on dance, and have a bunch of dance teams, and have hosted some of the major competitions that i went to. well, what do you suggest is a good reach??
o ..i forgot to add rensselaer to the list</p>

12

<p>how about connecticut college? its very similar to vassar, they dont require the sat-1 (which is bringing you down), and they have a fantastic dance program</p>
