<p>Those are the main ones...get back to me please, and be as honest as you need to. I can take it.</p>

<p>i'm a junior, but i'll try to help as much as possible
most of your schools look like solid bets, some might be a little harder to swing</p>

<p>try to raise your GPA a bit and of course SAT scores too</p>

<p>(btw, i feel your pain on the math section)</p>

3

<p>Your schools look good, I'm guessing you have a good chance at each. Try to get those SAT scores up, you're GPA is pretty phenomenal =].</p>

4

<p>You will be accepted at a number of schools on your list. UDel might be a little tough on out of staters, but you should still make it with that GPA. Is Geneseo the only SUNY of interest to you? Would it make sense to apply to at least one more state school?</p>

5

<p>realistic list. my stats are a bit lower, but i got accepted to mhc...so it's a sure thing you'll get in to mount holyoke...perhaps even a scholarship?</p>

<p>maintain your performance and perhaps you'll get into all of those schools. don't know about notre dame, but it's a shot.</p>
