<p>I’d say youre pretty safe on those first choices but BU might be somewhat of a reach. If you get those SAT scores up and have great essays, you have a pretty good chance at all those schools. </p>

<p>Please chance back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1099372-chance-me-usc-nyu-university-miami-uc-santa-barbara-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1099372-chance-me-usc-nyu-university-miami-uc-santa-barbara-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks…You think that BU is harder than those LAC’s? </p>

<p>Opinons about running times, any possibility of getting recurited?</p>

4

<p>In all honesty I don’t know much about LAC’s (I had to look up what they were) but I do know quite a bit about BU and it’s a pretty selective school. Close to the NYU, U of Miami range. Also, running times are pretty good but it’s pretty hard to get recruited. Just try to improve that 3 mile, that seems to be your strong point and you definitely have a shot. ! mile is nothing impressive but the 1000m is pretty good.</p>

5

<p>If you are are a girl, then you could probably get recruited…if you’re a guy, probably not, lots of guys are running sub 4:20 miles, and 15-16 3 miles.</p>

6

<p>Yes, I am a male=[ , I was considering D3 track and field…and thought that I seemed to be in the middle of the team, in terms of time.
Or, does my decidation to track, at least make me more competitve, for admission process, even if I am not recruited? </p>

<p>I am most interested in Connecticut College, for Early Decision. Chances, on this specifically, that would be great.</p>

7

<p>Bucknell would be hardest to get into in my opinion, but I’d say youre in everywhere.</p>

8

<p>Just going off SAT scores, Id say your in the range for Connecticut College. Here they are from the website:
SAT- Reading: 650-740
SAT- Math: 630-710
SAT- Writing: 660-740
Also being a first generation college student will be helpful. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>Thanks. Are you applying to the little ivies as well?
Is admissions much harder, as I need financial aid? </p>

<p>There is 4-5% asian in these schools, any effect?</p>

10

<p>hey! just looking at your scores and resume, i’d say you won’t have any problem getting into dickinson. i know it has a really great study abroad program if that’s something you’re interested in. good luck!</p>

11

<p>Your schools in the “also” section are all matches. Bucknell ed would really help, but from the above information that doesn’t seem like a possibility. However, even without ed I still believe you have a great shot due to your SATs being in at least the top 20%.</p>

12

<p>Good list. The above poster is incorrect- Lafayette, Bucknell, Connecticut College,are more selective than BU. Trinity about equal, Syracuse less selective. I think you’ll get in to most. If Conn is really your favorite, apply ED.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, thanks for clarification. I knew Lafayette is very competitve. </p>

<p>Will colleges look a lot more at my Junior grades and what senior classes I will take vs my low freshman grades…? </p>

<p>I am considering Dickinson as well…</p>

14

<p>Your freshman year grades are your only low point but if oyu explain what was going on I think you’ll be great. The only schools I know a lot about are Bucknell, Syracuse, and a little about Connecticut College. Depending on what school you’re applying to you’re into Syracuse and I think you have a great shot at Bucknell and Conn College. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance?

15

<p>I would say, based off your stats, you’re definitely in BU, as in first choice. I don’t know much about the rest though.</p>

16

<p>I think ConnCollege is a good fit for you. I know several people that go there and love it! I think that you are looking at schools well in your range, you should get in to most of them. If the schools do have a minority of asians, that should be an advantage, but I know that at many schools, being asian can be a hindrance in getting accepted. Anyway, good luck!</p>

<p>Not sure about other colleges but in for BU, Bucknell, Lafayette, and Syracuse. </p>

<p>Conn is a good match :)</p>
