<p>Um...
I think you should have taken Math level 2 rather than level 1.
and instead of applying to BU. why not apply to BC.
BU i think u have a good chance of getting in. Cornell is a reach.
Im not sure about the others.
You also show that your GPA was increasing a lot through out highschool, which is a good thing as well.</p>

<p>Chance me too please</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at getting into the SUNY's, Skidmore and maybe BU. You have some chance of getting into the others. You should see your chances at:
myCollegeSTAT</a> - Cornell University
myCollegeSTAT</a> - Boston University
myCollegeSTAT</a> - SUNY: Binghamton
myCollegeSTAT</a> - SUNY: Geneseo</p>

<p>you should be good for all of those. Cornell might be a little bit harder depending on where you apply within there. I'd shoot a little bit higher. By the way I don't think admissions counselors will sympathize with your "extenuating circumstance". Having a job is a choice.</p>

5

<p>Your average will hurt you</p>

<p>good sats</p>

<p>I don't think having a part time job excuse is gonna work well</p>

<p>I like your business awards</p>

<p>I would say u get into all of the colleges, you might get into cornell and wes i dont think so</p>

<p>Cornell and Wesleyan are big reaches. Did you only apply to these six schools?</p>

<p>"By the way I don't think admissions counselors will sympathize with your "extenuating circumstance". Having a job is a choice. "</p>

<p>Oh. I see. So I guess the hundreds of thousands of kids living in third world countries working 12/hrs a day in unventilated, bacteria infested manufacturing plants had a choice as well. Well, so much for human rights and anti-child labor legislation! </p>

<p>Other than that, thanks to you all.</p>

<p>Try not to respond to suggestions with snark. I share the view that it would not be a good idea to write in your application that your grades suffered because of your part-time job, unless, of course, you are one of those third-world kids, or if you had to work to support an impoverished family.</p>

<p>"you had to work to support an impoverished family."</p>

<p>Close enough. </p>

<p>And yes, I only applied to those six schools.</p>
