Penn Out of reach
Cornell High reach
U of Notre Dame Out of reach
Georgetown High reach
Northwestern Out of reach
Brandeis Low reach
NYU High match
Boston College Reach
Boston University Match

Rutgers NB Match
U Del Safety
@TomSrOfBoston@soze thanks everyone. I realize a lot of the colleges I’ve listed are reaches, but I felt I needed a better grasp on what is a match or not for me, since I’m not really familiar with the college application system. Thank you!
You can improve your GPA to a 3.8275 if you get all A’s senior year, and then if you improve your SAT some of these schools can get out of the realm of reachness. Try to take some summer courses , and/or maybe online courses this school year. Really try to improve that SAT, you’re at the point where you can improve it to any point , all you need is study. Try to also focus your EC’s to your preffered major and you will improve your chances for reaches.
Penn
Cornell
U of Notre Dame
Georgetown
Northwestern
== pick one because even with improved stats you’re unlikely to get admission. Students who do get in also have extraordinary EC’s. The competition is really tough.
Brandeis
NYU
Boston College
Boston University
Northeastern
== Those are still reaches but they’re close to being high match.
Rutgers NB Match for Honors if you hit 2100+
U Del = safety
What’s your butget?
What’s in-state for you?
What do you like about these universities?
Would you be open to LACs?
@MYOS1634 thanks so much! My budget, not sure. It really depends. For example, I’m willing to pay full tuition for any ivy or top school like that. I’m not willing to pay full for Rutgers or UDel.
In state is NJ
Truthfully, I like their name. I’m not really sure how the college life is and my mom doesn’t want me visiting colleges yet. However , I have been to Columbia and it is right by NYU and I loved the atmosphere and surroundings.
What is an LAC?
Thanks!
