<p>bump! chance me please!</p>

<p>gah bump bump bump!!!</p>

<p>Are you in any AP courses?
Your unweighted seems good, and being in the top 10% is definitely a plus.
Boston University and College will probably go for you, if you have APs and your weighted is over 4; Northeastern will probably take you regardless.
I’m not sure about the others though.</p>

<p>get 1900+ then, </p>

<p>hey thanks for the chances, i don’t think they offer any AP classes in australia, i just took 2 senior year subjects early in my junior year. im also doing a university level chinese course at my school. </p>

<p>btw how do my EC’s look?</p>

<p>I think that you have a really good chance especially for boston university and northeastern. Those are two school that love diversity and heavily weigh what you could bring to the campus. I have several friends who just applied and were accepted to both of those schools and they had similar GPA’s. (also EC’s look great)</p>

<p>thanks lem628 greatly appreciated! </p>

<p>what else could i improve on?</p>

<p>Except for improving your SAT (or taking the ACT), getting more ECs, or being an URM, not really. xD

<p>Fordham and BU are higher ranked and more selective than Northeastern. Not only that, BC is way higher ranked and way more selective. Get your chances straight. These threads shouldn’t even be made in the first place.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chance! I say you look golden for all the colleges you mentioned except for maybe Boston University. If you raise that SAT score, I think you’d be a match for all!:)</p>

<p>thanks for the chance! bump! anyone else?</p>

<p>Your SAT is slightly below average (what’s the breakdown)? Your GPA and rank are solid and so are your extracurriculars. I think there’s a chance for pretty much everything, but BC. Binghamton is your best bet though, followed by BU. Good luck in your future endeavors!</p>

<p>thanks for the chance! my breakdown is (CR=560) (M=480) (W=670) </p>

<p>btw what other universities are good for undergrad business which is within my reach?</p>

<p>Boston U: In
Syracuse U: In
Binghamton U: Low Match
Bentley U: Low Match
Fordham U: In
Case Reserve: In
Northeastern U: Low Reach
Boston College: High Match/Low Reach</p>
