<p>SAT:
Math-500
Reading-570
Writing-710</p>

<p>GPA:
3.7 UW</p>

<p>Very little EC/community service.</p>

<p>Location:
NY</p>

<p>Preferred college location:
In or near a big city in the Northeastern US</p>

<p>Probable major:
Political science</p>

<p>Cost:
$25,000 or less combined tuition and room/board, if more, the school must be known for giving out big financial aid packages.</p>

<p>The two that I am strongly considering right now are SUNY Albany and Howard U, but I'm lost after that and I know I need more options for safety. Are those two reaches?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Judging by the fact that you're interested in Howard, I'm assuming that you're African-American? (correct me if I'm wrong). Being an underrepresented minority will help significantly in the admissions process, but the low math/reading scores and lack of EC's will hurt.</p>

<p>I don't think any of the SUNY's would be reaches for you except Geneseo and Binghamton - I'd focus your search on SUNY colleges. You're a match for most of the better ones. :-)</p>

4

<p>SUNY Buffalo
SUNY Stonybrook
SUNY Oswego, Fredonia</p>

5

<p>Actually I am white, haha. I am aware that Howard is a HBCU, but that doesn't bother me.</p>

6

<p>if you got your SAT up geneseo is a good match</p>

7

<p>^ Oh, alright. :p I applaud you for being so open to new opportunities, then!</p>

<p>But you could also look at Fordham in NYC or Boston University. You're probably in at most any SUNY, too, if they interest you.</p>

8

<p>Fordham and Boston are too expensive.</p>

9

<p>Maybe University of Maryland - College Park, if you could get some aid?</p>

10

<p>Ah, right, good point. You never really know what kind of aid you'll get anywhere, unfortunately. ):</p>

11

<p>Everything just seems to be too much...</p>

12

<p>I agree with the SUNY suggestions...cost is very reasonable, and I think you would be good fit.</p>
