<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>your old thread said UC davis</p>

<p>you do know that they have no business program right?</p>

<p>Uchicago doesn't have much of an undergrad business program either, they DO have a spectacular grad, but no undergrad</p>

3

<p>if you get a 2100+ and have a 4.0 W GPA, add in UC Berkely as a low reach/match</p>

4

<p>Your predictions are pretty good.
Slightly higher chances than what you predicted at: Georgetown, UMD, Indiana, Northeastern, Penn State
I have no idea about Babson and Bentley, but the rest of your predictions look pretty accurate.</p>

5

<p>Boston College will be much harder, but I would think Maryland UIUC would be easier.</p>

6

<p>If I go to Chicago=I'm doing econ.
And yeah I dumped UC Davis. I really don't want to smell cow manure in class. :(</p>

<p>By the way, I AM doing NYU Stern ED.</p>

7

<p>Gtown still a reach; plenty of people w/ much better stats are rejected. Maybe if you go EA, unless you are def. doing that at Chicago</p>

8

<p>IU is a safety for you, easy to get into. You could get a full ride there, try for the Wells Scholarship or Kelley Scholars.</p>

<p>SAT Update:
I got a 1940. Collegeboard those sons of b*tches. According to PR's scoring guide (mind you this guide is harsher) I should have gotten a 2090.</p>

<p>I'm retaking this.</p>

10

<p>When I said slightly higher chances, I didn't mean bump from reach to match. Like Georgetown you predicted 20% chance and I'd predict 30-40ish%.</p>

<p>If you can't improve the SATs, that will hurt. Perhaps try taking the ACTs?</p>

11

<p>That would require more studying. So apparantly I arbitrarily got a more difficult test than the guy/girl sitting behind/in front of/to the right of me, and got *****ed over. This is so unfair!!!!! I can improve my SAT. Again, I should have gotten a 2090 or something in that range.</p>

13

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Please?!?!?!!?</p>

14

<p>is 1900..or..2090 considered high SAT?</p>

15

<p>The GENERAL trend for the Ivies this year seems to be that you need a score in the 2200s, at least.</p>

16

<p>Yeah, get those SATs up-unless you can get at least 2100+, many of those reach schools will become near-impossible to get into. Like the other guy said, try the ACTs-I only got around 2140 on the SATs, but got a 34 ACT first try-equivalent of a 2280.</p>

17

<p>the abbreviation for the University of Virginia is UVa. not UVA</p>

18

<p>id have to say michigan is more of a reach than a slight reach for you....oos admissions is pretty tough for umich...having a sub 3.7 uw gpa and a sub 2000 sat doesnt help much either...of course if you retake and get 2100+...then id say your chances are slight reach.</p>

19

<p>^ I agree, UMich is hard to get into if your outta state. And UMD is def. easy to get into if your outta state. Just get your SAT above 2100</p>
