<p>For most colleges GPA trumps SAT score because it is a reflection of what you have actually done over 3/4 years of college where the SAT is based on a 3/4 hour exam</p>

3

<p>1450 math+verbal?
I wouldn't be concerned...Your prolly in at all but possibly Maryland and NYU</p>

4

<p>any other suggestions... bump</p>

5

<p>last bump..</p>

6

<p>I think you'll get into SU, Rutgers, BU, and Northeastern. NYU/Maryland aren't TOO far of reaches, and I'm not too familiar with Colgate or TCNJ</p>

7

<p>Colgate (ED) - big reach
NYU(CAS) - big reach
TCNJ - slight reach
Rutgers - safety
Syracuse - safety
BU - match
Northeastern - match
U of Maryland College Park - match</p>

8

<p>Holy Cross-very similar to Colgate,and both are rivals in Patriot League. Also HC has merit aid in Latin/Classics area.</p>

9

<p>Chances change? SAT II Scores in:
Math IIC: 750 Chem: 690</p>

<p>another school... bucknell and lehigh</p>

10

<p>750 math iic is pretty good...690 chem won't help you much (trust me, I'm in a similar circumstance with a 680 chem score as my 2nd SAT II)</p>

<p>lehigh- match
bucknell- slight reach
I would say bucknell as a match but your GPA is a bit low.</p>
