My final list that might change

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.4uw
SAT: 1400 (710V690M)
SAT IIs: 670Write, 630Lit, 640MathIIC (I kinda bombed them, might take Math again)
APs: Chem(3)</p>

<p>ECs:
Soccer (Varsity 3 yrs)
Waiter job and other jobs (3 yrs total)
Community Service (aboot 80 hrs over summer, more this winter, spring)
Soccer Ref (since I was about 12)</p>

<p>It might not seem like a lot of ECs, but I play soccer all year, work all year and do community service all year.</p>

<p>Recs and Essay: Great and good</p>

<p>Schools:
Reachers:</p>

<p>GWU
BU
McGill (I have no idea how hard it is to get into)</p>

<p>Targeters:</p>

<p>Syracuse
American (maybe)
Northeastern
Providence</p>

<p>Safety-ers:
Univ. of NH
Univ. of Vermont</p>

<p>So, how's my list and how are my chances? I might apply to BC for the hell of it because its a hella-nice schoosh.</p>

<p>EJ- I think you have a very good shot at all your schools even your reaches. I live in VT, and UVM has become a really good public university within the past few years, so I think it's a great school even if you don't get in anywhere else.</p>

<p>And yes, BC definitely is hella-nice.</p>

<p>bump, any comments?</p>

<p>I agree, good list. You have a great chance at all and I wouldn't be surprised if you got into 2 of your reaches</p>

<p>I would say that your SATs are definitely in the range of all of your reach schools but your GPA is low and your extracurriculars are good, but common. I think you have a chance at all of your schools but not definites at all of them. </p>

<p>A little off topic, but have you visited Syracuse? I am applying there too, and I haven't heard much talk about them here on the boards. What made you choose it? I'd love to hear your opinion about Syracuse as I am thinking of crossing it off my list. My stats are much lower than yours but, regardless, 28 ACT (non composite - 32 english, 30 math, 27 reading, 29 science which puts me at ~30 combined), 3.94 u/w, 4.5 w, mostly AP and college courses, many extracurriculars, and a steady job) </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I haven't been able to vistit Syracuse yet, but I think you have a really good shot there. I've heard that the city is okay, but the campus is nice.</p>

<p>wow, this board is buzzing now that its app time</p>

<p>bump, help a jigga out</p>

<p>bumpbumpbump</p>

<p>maybe you should think of adding 1or 2 more reaches? (retake sat IIs, Im in the same boat as you)</p>

<p>I think your list is very good and you have a nice chance of getting into them all.</p>
