<p>These predictions are just based off you stats. They, in no way, predict your actual results, so take this advice with a grain of salt. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Any advice on what to work on?</p>

<p>Def your EC’s and make sure that you can get that SAT up. Also leadership roles. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Any other opinions? I’ll chance back</p>

<p>@Hawkace Sorry if it’s any inconvenience to you, but could you possibly tell me whether or not you think I will get into each college? I’m new here and I don’t really understand the whole low reach/mid reach/high reach thing. </p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>You have a solid shot at all these colleges…
Schoola really like upward trends. If you get your sat to around a 2000, you should get into nc state, maryland, and drexel. Good luckk.</p>

<p>Most of these schools are matches-- CMU, Drexel, Brown, and Rutgers are in reach if you can raise your test score (and perhaps apply ea/ed).</p>

<p>Thanks for the help</p>
