<p>Other than URichmond, BC, and Lehigh I’d think you’ll get into all of them. I’d say you should get into 2 of those three I mentioned above, maybe 3 (BC and URichmond are slightly tougher, but you still fare a great shot)</p>

<p>NYU, BC, and Lehigh will be the toughest ones, but with your stats you’ll get into somewhere good.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! NYU, Boston College, Lehigh University, and University of Rochester were my reaches.</p>
<p>Do you think I could consider Michigan State a safety even though I am out of state</p>
<p>Yeah, easily. Go a step further and add u mich- ann arbor which might be a slight reach but is worth a shot as it is a great school.</p>
<p>^ I will definitely consider that. Thanks</p>
<p>So I was thinking…</p>
<p>Reaches: University of Rochester, UMich, Lehigh University, and NYU</p>
<p>Matches: Penn State, Northeastern, Boston U, University of Richmond, UMaryland, George Washington, American U, and Fordham</p>
<p>Safeties: Michigan State, Drexel, and Rutgers - New Brunswick (in-state)</p>
<p>One more innocent bump can’t hurt</p>
<p>Gosh, how many time do I need to bump this thread?</p>
<p>They pretty much said it all lol. How about Georgetown? It would be a reach, but def worth considering</p>
