brandeis- match
UVA- REACH
tcnj- don't know
carnegie mellon- reach
johns hopkins- reach
rochester- match
rutgers- not sure, match/safety?
pennstate (UP)- not sure, match/safety?</p>

<p>Your verbal score is what drags you down- the rest of your app is fine. You might want to throw in a couple more safeties unless you're in-state at TCNJ and Rutgers.</p>

5

<p>i am in state for rutgers and tcnj...wow is UVA THAT hard to get into</p>

6

<p>Don't listen to madmanmatty. I think you're a lock for PSU, and Brandeis...and I can't see you getting rejected from Rutgers either. CM, tufts, NYU are reaches, and UVa/possible JH are big reaches.</p>

7

<p>lol... im guessing the above post is a joke.. but seriously your in rutgers and rochester.. im not sure what the UP stands for in penn state but i know your fine for psu gen admission.. you also have a decent shot at tcnj and carnegie mellon although your difficulty of schedule might hold you back... also im assuming your looking at a science or engineering so add purdue as a safety and maybe rose-hulman</p>

8

<p>whats wrong with my scedule...i took 4 AP classes this year and lots oh honors...exept freshman year</p>

9

<p>im instate for tcnj so i qualify for their scholorship not only admission so im not worried about those too much</p>

10

<p>o and i forgot junior year precalculus was honors</p>

11

<p>umm for most of the schools you mentioned a lot of the kids start with at least one ap class sophomore year and a few more junior year and from what ive seen honors classes at most schools are a joke and everyone takes them, even with that said i think your in at tcnj but still unsure about mellon... uva is amazingly hard for out of state... and yea u have a good shot at nyu also</p>

12

<p>tcnj isnt hard to get into...its easier than all the schools i mentioned exept rutgers...maybe its because im in state but both people that went from my school last year had 1200 sat scores and no ap classes at all</p>

13

<p>my school doesnt let you take AP classes before junior year</p>

14

<p>yea at my school the only ap class u can possibly take b4 jr. year is ap euro.. and like i said i think your in at tcnj</p>

15

<p>my school isnt like most schools though...your NOT allowed to take an AP class unless you have over 600 on that section for psat...teacher recc and straights As in that subject</p>

16

<p>wow.. that pretty much screws a lot of ppl for college then</p>

Yes. For OOS students, UVa, W&M, and UNC are at Ivy level admissions.</p>

<p>Warbler is right. Really good state schools are sometimes even harder for out-of-states than the Ivies.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley has a 9% admit rate out-of-state!</p>
