<p>University of Chicago - reach</p>

<p>University of Miami (EA) - reach (im assuming you are out of state since you're taking regents exams..)</p>

<p>SUNY Binghamton - borderline</p>

<p>SUNY Albany - match</p>

<p>SUNY Stonybrook - match</p>

<p>Northeastern University - borderline</p>

<p>New York University (CAS, legacy) - reach</p>

<p>Colgate University - reach</p>

<p>College of William and Mary - reach</p>

<p>Boston University - reach</p>

<p>university of miami is private, and btw does being an asian from NY help?</p>

5

<p>well, i talked to my guidance counselor today and she recommended case western to me, so i guess i'm going to add that to my list</p>

6

<p>I would definitely apply to Tulane in New Orleans if that is the one you are talking about.</p>

<p>Sorry I don't know much about the other schools..I'm new to all this but it seems that apart from your SAT scores you have amazing ECs and Volunteer work so I think you can go wherever you want on that list.</p>

7

<p>umiami is still a reach.</p>

8

<p>Also could you chance me as well? It is below this post.</p>

<p>that is my thread. thanks :)</p>

11

<p>alright i'll get right to it</p>

12

<p>a 94 is a 3.9 on the 3.0 scale. A 4.0 is anywhere from 95-100</p>

13

<p>nice, thanks for the info</p>

14

<p>I think as a legacy at NYU, especially if you can pay full cost, they will accept you into the GSP program.</p>

15

<p>i've heard of the general study program, but can you inform me more about it?</p>

16

<p>Foe the first 2 years you take basic classes to strengthen your writing and give you the tools for college success. Then you go into whatever school you applied to in the first place. So instead of rejecting those with good potential but are not strong enough at application time, they offer GSP. There are a lot of legacies in the program!</p>

17

<p>very interesting, thanks for the tip. my mother (the legacy) has been forcing me to apply lol</p>

18

<p>thanks for all the chances so far</p>

<p>should get into all except UChicago. Slight reaches at W&M and Colgate</p>
