<p>umass-in
u-vermont-probably in
unh- might be hard
Ithaca- If you have football, then you have a better chance. Otherwise, your stats seem a little lacking
Stonehill- in
Union- tough school. hopefully football will help
BU-CGS- no clue
hofstra- in
penn st- its a toss up</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, did u qualify for the MCAS scholarship? Since the minimum GPA for state school in MA is 2.0, you are definitely in at umass amherst. I'm mainly curious because I live in MA as well.</p>

<p>I believe I did, I got advanced on math and profecient in writing...the letter that came with it said I would be eligible to receive a scholarship if i went to a state school................any other thought anyone</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>hofstras good...live not even 20 minutes away...good school right near NYC in the suburbs</p>

<p>I completed research at Hofstra with one of the professors, and it was an incredible experience. I don't know how their other fields are, but the science program offered their is not too bad at all judging from my own experience.</p>

<p>anything else.....i have to start applying and i need advice if i could even get into one of these college's</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>wont get into union, sorry</p>

<p>I doubt it for Penn State...I applied 6 years ago with a 2.9 (UW), 1120 SAT, a good essay, and god knows what else...it was 6 years ago! I also had the upward trend with all A's my senior year...</p>

<p>The verdict...rejected from Main and got into branch campuses...</p>

<p>The way college admits are going these days I doubt you'll get into Penn State Main...but I also hear they like to dump most of the in-state people to branch to attract out of state people....so give it a try but don't expect much...</p>

<p>All of the others you think i have a solid shot of getting into??</p>

<p>Appreciate it</p>
