<p>i’m in a very similar situation but as an international. try an choose universities that don’t worry as much about school grades. </p>
<p>my advice (probably mediocre, but hey, you’re the one asking the questions!):
bu - easy
Colgate - easy
Cornell - quite a reach
NYU - reach, but if we’re both lucky we’ll be in the same class
Northeastern - similar to above.</p>
<p>Universities generally value the SAT more than the GPA since grades can vary so much from high school to high school. Your SAT is quite high so you have a good chance at most of these schools. Just wondering: what’s your grade trend? Are you an all around B student or is there an upward or downward trend in grades? If so, that will make somewhat of a difference. I think you’ll get into 2/3rds of the schools honestly, but I agree with the poster that finances may be an issue.</p>
<p>Is everyone mixing up Northeastern (in Boston) with Northwestern (in Chicago)? While Northeastern is a good school, your score blows their average (upper range!) SAT of ~1250 out of the water. To me you are a shoo in there.</p>
<p>ya for sure youll be in alot of kids from my school got into northwestern chicago and they had 3.1 and just did work on the sat i was wondering if anyone though i could possibly get into auburn with a 3.1 gpa and 1100 sat just cr and math my wrirting was 570</p>
<p>ehh well freshman year i had like all C+'s and a couple of B’s and i’ve improved a lot even getting onto honor roll a couple of times from then and freshman year i had NO honor/ap classes and now practically all my classes are honors/ap cept english</p>
<p>It sounds like you have an upward trend after your freshman year, which is good and could give you a bit of a boost in admissions. Here’s some of my guesses based on comparing your stats with the average SAT/GPA stats of the schools…</p>
<p>Union- Between a safety and match. Good bet.
BU- Match/somewhat of a safety. Think you’re in fairly easily.
Northeastern- Also in between a safety and a match. I would be surprised if you didn’t get in.
BC- Match. Medium chance.<br>
NYU- Match-- medium shot.
Bucknell- Match – medium shot.
UW- Madison- Match. Will depend on whether your an in state or out of state applicant.
Michigan- Match. More towards reach territory though. Like with UW Madison, chances depend on whether you are an in-state or out of state applicant.
Colgate- Match/Low reach.<br>
USC- Low reach.
Emory- Low reach. Your SAT is on the high end of their range and can hopefully outweigh your GPA somewhat.
Cornell- Reach. Slim chance.</p>
<p>Try to shoot for that higher SAT and do well in this semester of your senior year to try and improve your GPA (even if it is just by a little). Also, have you thought about picking any more safeties? I think Union, BU and Northeastern are your best bets but other than those, you have a ton of matches, low reaches and reaches. I’m not sure what state you are from but you may want to add a good in state school because your list sounds awfully expensive.</p>
<p>I don’t think you’ll get into Cornell, USC, or NYU. If you do then don’t expect much financial aid. The rest are matches or low reaches.</p>
<p>How rigorous were your schedules? If you took like 8-10 APs then you’ll have a better chance. But by guesstimating your weighted GPA (3.4) I don’t think you had the INSANELY HARD schedule.</p>
<p>OMG that would be great. My daughter has a 3.15 GPA and high 600s into 700s SATs. She’s trying to get into Northeastern, Syracuse and Drexel music industry programs. I wonder if you’re right…</p>
