<p>Now, do you think I can make...?</p>
<p>Tufts Early Decision 2
Boston College Early Action
Colgate/Cornell (big reach) Regular Decision</p>
<p>Simply, based on stats I believe you have a good chance of being accepted to Boston College, especially since you applied early and the fact that you atended a Catholic school can't hurt. You SAT's are good (same as mine except the writing), but your subject tests are low. You should have taken the MATH II test, as it has a generous and lenient curve: eight mistakes can still be a perfect score. I think you are a match for Colgate, but Cornell is definitely a reach. Good Luck.</p>
<p>I think you are also a match for NYU (I'm applying there too). Apparently, CAS is much easier to gain admission than STERN or other departments, not that you should apply for that reason. Your alumi relation will also help. If it came down to you or me they would probably admit you due to your GPA.</p>
<p>Tufts could go 50/50 for you, because of your low SATs but I believe applying ED II will counteract that. (I'm a senior at Tufts now). If you want more Tufts-specific advice, post on the Tufts thread -- there are several Tufts alums/students who regularly check it! Good luck!</p>
