<p>Hey everyone...I applied ED to NYU Gallatin; I'm also applying to Tufts ED II (if rejected from NYU), Fordham, USC, Northeastern, Boston U, Brown, and Yale. What are my chances pleaase? :)</p>

<p>You'll probably get into NYU. If you don't, Tufts will be more of a reach. Out of curiosity, why did you pick Gallatin over Tufts anyhow?</p>

<p>Brown and Yale are highly unlikely reaches. You're probably in at your other schools.</p>

<p>ur into gallatin 4 sure...
at least i think so</p>

<p>id hit it...</p>

<p>I picked Gallatin over Tufts because the program allows me to integrate music into my concentration and take lessons for credit and because I love NYC. I love Tufts too, though, and could definitely see myself going there and being really happy.</p>

<p>I don't think Brown is an unlikely reach (just a regular old reach), seeing the op has standardized scores above avg. Yale prbly is unlikely b/c of the class rank. From the Chi burbs, interested in music/biology/psychology, why not consider NW (looks like you want to get away).</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! :)</p>
