Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Im not sure if i should change my list based on my sats, because the cr is killing me. If i have a solid chance at all my schools id like to keep it, but i would like some opinions. Im in a lopsided position where my cr is horrible but math and sciences are good. What should i do? </p>

<p>Ill chance back, just leave a link, thanks! </p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot of getting into all of those schools even though your Cr is low. Your composite matches pretty well with the middle percentile. Northeastern may be a high natch just because they are selective. But outside of Macaulay and rose-hulman(since I don’t know much about them) I think you have a good chance for all of the schools! Good luck!</p>

<p>If you could chance me too that would be awesome!</p>

<p>I agree that Northeastern might be a bit of a reach, but it sounds like you’ll be competitive at most of these schools, aside from (and of course you know this) your CR score. Hopefully it won’t matter as much since you’re applying for finance… But (and this is conjecture) I’d imagine that that wouldn’t be the case at least at NYU, since you’re applying for humanities. As annoying as this sounds, you probably want to think about retaking the SAT. :confused: You have great ECs and a good GPA, though! Good luck :)</p>

<p>Thank you very much, thats very helpful, I am actually taking the SAT’s this saturday and hoping to do as well as i have been doing on practice tests. Any more chances?</p>

5

<p>I can tell you that you will very likely get into Drexel and Boston U. You look good for everywhere else but you might wanna get that CR score up but I’m sure you know that haha. Best of luck!</p>
