<p>Please read my stats and candidly evaluate my chances! Thank you!</p>

<p>you will be bombarded for your URM status and your lofty choice of schools</p>

<p>You dont really have ANY safeties...</p>

<p>ok, please try to get over what my list of schools actually is and instead focus on what my actual chances are at getting in and what you think may give me an edge in the admissions process</p>

<p>Its really hard to analyze without SAT I and SAT II scores</p>

<p>Just make sure you have schools that are matches and a safety school (the MOST important school!!)</p>

<p>I was hoping NYU could be my safety school.. many students who are less qualified than me have gotten in from my school</p>

<p>well, you are black. so if you are decent, you are bound to get in one of them</p>

<p>Using NYU as a safety is a very stupid thing to do.</p>
