<p>Any ideas/suggestions/comments on changes that could be made or maybe if there are some other schools I should be looking at? Thanks.</p>

<p>I think that looks like a good blend of schools.</p>

<p>bump. bump.</p>

<p>it's a great list of schools...but the bulk of them would be reaches unless you improved a lot over this year and brought up your sat score. Some of those schools like BC and UVA and NYU would probably want above a 2000 at least. Delaware looks likely. Not really sure about American since I've never looked into that school. But it's a good list. =) I wish you luck.</p>

<p>You'll need to bring up your SAT scores for BC, W&M, Georgetown, NYU, Tufts, and possibly Brandeis. However, you have plenty of time and other than your SAT scores, you look like your in good shape. You should also consider taking the ACT's if your SAT scores are not better later on.</p>

<p>Looking into Holy Cross,a small liberal arts college founded by the Jesuits in 1843. (Georgetown and BC are Jesuit schools). It is the oldest Catholic college in New England and is the only Jesuit school that is strictly undergraduate and all professors are PhDs (no grad students teaching). HC is less than a hour from Boston, Providence, and Cape Cod. HC Basketball team went to the NCAA Division 1 basketball tournament last year. Holy Cross is one of only seven colleges that have a graduate that is a sitting US Supreme Court Justice. Graduates are admitted to medical school at a rate twice the national average</p>

<p>Nifty list</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that Holy Cross is SAT Optional so if SATs are your weak spot, it might be a great choice.</p>
