<p>Interested in:
Cornell, NYU, College of William and Mary, UVA, Boston University, and Barnard</p>

<p>Cornell Hotel Administration - Pretty good chance, but ACT score still makes it reach
NYU - Depends on the college. I’d say low reach at CAS and Steinhardt, but reach for Stern.
UVA - Low reach because you’re out of state.
W&M, BU - Probably accepted. Be very strange if you got rejected here.
Barnard - Match/low match. ACT score is bringing you down, but Barnard is nowhere near as competitive as Columbia.</p>

<p>Honestly, you’re only problem is the ACT. Are you planning to retake? If not, I’d highly recommend it. You’re obviously pretty smart, so a prep course or two should be enough. It doesn’t seem like you’re applying ED anywhere, so I’d definitely suggest taking the December ACT and aiming for a 33 or higher. Anything lower will hurt you.</p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1407315-chances-carnegie-mellon-mcs-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1407315-chances-carnegie-mellon-mcs-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m applying ED at NYU for the CAS program.
I highly doubt my ACT will go up, these test are not my strong point and I have known that so I tried to shine in other parts of my application process.</p>

<p>but you really think Cornell is a possibility for me? :)</p>

<p>Its the Hotel school, so you definitely have a shot. I know someone with a 3.4 GPA from my high school (essentially in top 30% of my class) who was accepted to the Hotel school. That’s anecdotal evidence of course, but I think you could get in provided your essays are REALLY strong (to compensate for low ACT).</p>

<p>BTW, can you chance me back on my thread?</p>

<p>if you apply ED2 for NYU CAS, I think you have a pretty good chance in getting in. I am also applying ED2 for NYU (Stern), <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411720-please-chance-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411720-please-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;
Cornell Hotel School, you have a good shot because although the Ivy League name, the Hotel School isn’t an interest to a lot of ppl so your competition is minimal compared to many other Cornell applicants.</p>
