<p>thank you both so much</p>

<p>do you think that all my ec's from the summer programs will help at all?</p>

5

<p>Of course they'll help, but your SATs are holding you back.</p>

6

<p>crew17love can you post where you get in when you find out?</p>

7

<p>i think the only thing that is holding her back at BU is that math sat score...but it depends on which school she applied to... prolly be good for college of general studies don't you think?</p>

8

<p>I applied as a journalism major to the communications school at BU, so I'm thinking maybe the math score wont matter as much? I applied as a journalism major to all of those schools.</p>

<p>I really want to get into Fordham, American, and Emerson</p>

<p>Fordham- I met with my admissions counsler and the crew coach at the Rose Hill campus and had good interviews with both.</p>

<p>American- A boy in my grade heard already and was accepted and all of his stats are lower than mine AND he doesnt have good ec's</p>

<p>Emerson- my essay was really good (not to brag) and I never knew it was that hard to get into</p>

<p>THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT!</p>

9

<p>i'm not sure what heavenwood considers good enough sats for those schools, but yours are definitely in the right area. just look at their median scores in one of those big college books. 1140 is perfectly respectable, and your other stuff is fine. i would guess you get at least four admits.</p>

10

<p>Okay i got some!</p>

<p>Northeastern- WAIT LIST
Syracuse- WAIT LIST
Fordham- ACCEPTED
Boston College- Rejected (i knew that already though lol)</p>

<p>still waiting for BU, Emerson and American, but I am SO happy with fordham!</p>
