Wow youve got the whole quagmire there…….

I thinnk you’ll get into Drexel, NE U., Rutgers, Rider, Rowan, Philadelphia, and Arcadia

U Penn is extremely selective, and in my opinion the best business undergrad school,

Princeton is well, Princeton…

U Del and Boston and Lehigh are on the fence…maybe you’ll get in, maybe not, but worth apllying to see…

Thats a long list too, you may want to cut it down to say 4-6.

You’ll most likely get into the last two.

What’s your SAT score. You’re applying to many schools.

If the last two are your safety schools, then why do you need schools like Drexel University that just are there to take up space.

I don’t think you’ll get into any of the Ivy Leagues, unless you’re a minority(black or hispanic) and have at least a 2000 on your SAT score. Your rank and gpa are to low for you to get in if you’re white or asian. Your Sat Scores will never make up for it. I say that either choose one or the other. Id’ probably choose University of Penn to apply to because their acceptance rate is higher than Princeton.

You need to get at least a 2000(if you’re white or asian) to be a match for Boston University, otherwise it’ll be a reach.

We don’t know what your chances are unless you give us your Sat Scores. I recommend in general to reduce your schools down to 6 or 7 colleges. 2 reaches, 2 matches, and 2 safeties.

Well all are possible if you write amazing personal statements and scored high on your SAT’s and Subject test. However being realistic with a 3.5 and being ranked 40…. thats not even in the top 20% so Boston, Princeton are pretty much out of the question. The others I am not to sure about.

I am in the top 5% of an underscoring school [which makes it easlier to get into] with a 4.0 gpa 1560 SAT 560 subject and didn’t get into princeton.

All of the above are good choices of colleges, Princeston is the best choice to go too. In my point of view I think you might have a chance to be accepted at Drexel University, since they basically allow anyone who have good GPA to go in.
