Obviously take the SAT again and maybe even try the ACT. Your EC’s are pretty strong and your achievements are impressive though your Strength of curriculum and your GPA will probably work against you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Since you do live in Maryland, (i do too) i know there’s a mass amount of competition to get into UMD as an in-state student. It’s a match, but if you bumped your UW GPA but a tad, you would be all set. Cornell, & Carnegie are all high reaches.

16

<p>Cornell (ED) - high reach
UVA (EA) - acceptance (I really think UVA focuses a lot on the essay from personal experience with sister and family friends: my sister got a 1900 on the SAT and got accepted and family friend got 2200 and rejected; sister was a great writer, but I heard the other girl wasn’t…both in state though)
UMD-College Park (EA) - acceptance just b/c you’re in state with a great resume
Wake Forest - I’m not really familiar with this school although I heard standardized scores are optional to send or something like that
Carnegie Mellon - high reach
NYU - medium reach
UT-Austin - not familiar with this school :confused: sorry
Virginia Tech - Definitely acceptance</p>

<p>Good luck to you!:)</p>

17

<p>What’s your budget?
This will be a key element for most of these schools.</p>

<p>You’re probably not competitive for Georgetown but you can thrown in the application after you’re done with the others (deadline Jan 10), as a “one never knows”. Note that they require THREE different Subject tests (ie., you can’t take Spanish with listening and Spanish, or Math1 and Math2)</p>

18

<p>@MYOS1634‌ my budget’s probably 40-50,000. I’m asking about Georgetown since their business program seems to be a lot stronger than Carnegie Mellon’s program so if my odds for Georgetown look better, I’d replace Carnegie Mellon with Georgetown. </p>

<p>Cornell (ED) - High Reach
UVA (EA) - Reach (senior year courses are really important; rigor in prior years v. impt)
UMD-College Park (EA) - Match
Wake Forest - High Match
Carnegie Mellon - High Reach
NYU - High Reach (only because they have many more female applicants than male and you have a competitive and popular major choice)
UT-Austin - Reach (great, great school with a growing global reputation)
Virginia Tech - Match/High Match</p>
