<p>anyone please?</p>

<p>Though your rank is up there, your grades and especially test scores are on the low side for BC, BU, and Tufts. Probably Brandeis too. I’m not familiar with Stonehill.</p>

<p>Like greennblue said, your standardized test scores will probably hurt your chances at a lot of these but I still think you have a pretty good chance considering the rest of your app is solid. I apologize but I’m not very familiar with a lot of your colleges but here’s my guess:
Boston College (high match), Boston University (mid reach), Stonehill College (match?), Brandeis (?), Umass Amherst (mid reach), and most likely Tufts (mid/low reach?). </p>

<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply college9876. I know I’m the one that asked for a chance, but I don’t understand your chances. I know you’re trying to help though.</p>

<p>Based on what I’ve been told, these are my chances:
BC: High reach
BU: Low reach/match
Stonehill: Match
Umass Amherst: Match/In (saftey?)
Brandeis: Reach
Tufts: High Reach</p>

<p>I was just asking if anyone with information about these schools could elaborate on or give their opinion.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any knowledge about these schools??please</p>
