<p>i dont know about the UCs (considering i dont live in CA lol), but i can try to guess at some boston schools (considering i live in boston lol).
Northeastern - you will probably get in.
BU - you will probably get in, depending on what college you apply to (definately the college of general studies, but probably not if u want the communications school).
Suffolk - you would probably get in.
BC - it's a reach, you would have to bring up your SATs and SATIIs. but it's worth a shot if you are interested.</p>

<p>if you want business, look at babson and bentley.</p>

<p>Thanks, i was thinking about BU but i thought i wouldnt get in but i will consider it</p>

<p>and for northeastern i got something called an "express application" or something like that i was wondering if you knew anything about it and if that would increase my chances of gettin in</p>

<p>thanks flopsy</p>

<p>iam really worried that i wont get into ucla and ucb even though i had friends who got in with lower sat scores than mines</p>

<p>Well yeah....the impact of GPA and scores combined accounts for about 70% of an application to a UC school. I think your GPA and SAT will probably cancel each other out making for an average performance in this section. Other than that they look at essays, extra-curriculars, and other tip factors...all of which you have. While UCLA and UCB are reaches you definitely have decent shots at either of them.</p>

13

<p>do you think i have a better chance at UCLA and UCB because of the elc?</p>

<p>any imput on nyu?</p>

14

<p>anyone have any imput?</p>

<p>ok well im looking at the UC profile page right now and from what i see the one thing that is hurting you the most are the SAT scores. I agrre completely with flopsy's views of the schools. I would make sure to apply yo Irvine and Davis because their acceptance rate of ELC students is like 99.5+ so your pretty much gauranteed unless you dont do your essays. Either way good luck</p>

<p>do u guys think its best to put a lower math 2 c score than a higher math 1 c score?</p>
