<p>^ opps. haha, thanks.
o_o does that mean that i have a good chance of getting in or a bad chance?</p>

4

<p>bump.
:x chance me please</p>

<p>Wow, my stats aren't that much better... Well, I did do a little better on the SAT, but colleges seem to not care this year. Just shot for the moon, even if you miss you will land among the stars, as the old saying goes. Anything could happen. Try to make your app appealing with your impressive extracurricular stuff, and write stellar yet still personal essays. I think you have at least a shot at all those schools. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>:x haha, thanks.
anyone else?</p>

7

<p>mm I have to agree completely with bvrian... you don't really have a lot of ECs, your SAT is kinda low - as is your GPA. However, it could be enough if you write a good essay and have good recs.</p>

8

<p>There is a possibility of getting in to all of those schools but be advised i don't think ANY OF THOSE are safetiess! its always good to be conservative... i suggest u apply to 1 or 2 easier schools just in case</p>

9

<p>yea get some safeties, as all of those are probably a little bit on the reach side for you.
I'd say a perfect safety/match for your case would be Boston University.</p>

<p>But out of all of those, you would probably have the best shot at NYU or USC</p>

<p>Hold on, aren't you a junior? This is purely theoretical..and are those real subject test scores? I noticed the thread you made a month ago and you didn't have any subject test scores/mention of taking them anytime soon...</p>
