<p>I feel like I'm forgetting to include something. Please let me know if I forgot to tell you anything of relevance.
I'm pretty much applying to match schools (if I dont get into CUNY Honors, regular CUNY it is, Pace, St. Johns, etc) because I don't want to waste money on unrealistic applications.</p>

<p>But what are my chances at:
NYU
CUNY Honors at Hunter.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>not a single response? I see how it is.
But seriously, all criticism/responses would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Your GPA is around 3.8 to 3.85, but those SAT Is are killing you.</p>

<p>NYU--Serious Reach with those SATs
CUNY at Hunter--Safe Match to Match</p>

<p>Why not consider someplace like one of the SUNYs--you would be a match for all of them. I think you could get into someplace like Penn State also. You would be a safe match at St. John's and a match at Pace. You would also be a match for Fordham.</p>

<p>Thanks for your response.
Yeah, I know there are plenty of schools that take people with average SATS but I want to stay in NYC. Yeah, I like Fordham but I dont like their tuition cost. CUNY I will get into but Honors, is something different. Its actually very hard to get into. I am trying to decide if its worth applying to CUNY Honors because regular cuny requires no essay or recommendation (I'm lazy- thats why my sats suck. I bought books to study but didnt crack them open. lol)</p>
