<p>You have a nice solid list of schools. For the most part, you've done a good job of estimating your chances, but in the reach category, BC and NYU are probably unrealistic reaches. I'd consider dropping one or the other in favor of adding one or two additional safe bet schools, but I tend to err on the side of caution. If you need substantial financial aid, keep in mind that Boston U and NYU are notoriously bad at providing it. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>yeah--i agree NYU is out of the question as is BC. how about purdue?</p>

<p>Along with Perdue, you should also check out Indiana University.</p>
