<p>Your list looks solid. If you raise your SAT scores your “reaches” will be more like matches. You also look like a match for the SUNY schools.</p>

4

<p>^I was considering Stony Brook, but I heard it was a MAJOR suitcase school.</p>

5

<p>Bumpity…bump…bump</p>

6

<p>I will chance back</p>

7

<p>i think you should considers some lac’s </p>

<p>i wish i had as a first year applicant</p>

8

<p>My main concern is that many of the LAC at my level aren’t well known</p>

9

<p>get a 4.0 this year and bring your SAT up to 2000-2050 or so and you’d be competitive at a bunch–in addition to being more competitive at universities</p>

<p>easier said than done, but it could be worth it</p>

10

<p>Thanks could anyone else weigh in</p>

11

<p>Por favor!</p>

12

<p>Anyone???</p>

13

<p>Bump…bump…bada bump</p>

14

<p>I promise to chance back</p>

15

<p>Are you going to play soccer at any of those schools? Wow 13 years is a longgggg time! (:</p>

<p>As soon as you boost that SAT score a few more points you should be solid for everything and your reaches will be more matches. </p>

<p>Nothing on the west coast huh? </p>

<p>Why not Georgetown for Poli/Sci? You’ve got all the other major DC schools. I’d add one or two big reaches and then start narrowing down a little from there. But everything is looking good! (: </p>

16

<p>I just thought Gtown was too much of a reach to spend application money</p>

17

<p>Your reaches, safeties, and matches seem to be pretty correct. Just curious, what’s your #1 choice? Good luck!</p>

18

<p>Drexel is my number 1. I love the school, campus, and the co-op.</p>
