Chances
Hey, I was just wondering what my chances are to get into Penn State, Ohio State, Miami University (in Oxford, OH), Boston University and George Washington University. Not that anyone knows exactly, but give me your thoughts. 1220 SAT (Math + Verbal), 26 ACT, 3.48 GPA...I think I can get a higher score on ACT so I am going to take that again and may get it up a point or two. Let me know if you think I need to do that. Thanks.

Reach: - Boston University
- George Washington University (your SAT is only a bit lower than their average) Match: - Penn State (although known to be tough to get into if you are OOS) - Ohio State - Miami University If you raise your SAT scores 50-70 points George Washington could possibily be a match school. BU on the other hand might be a bit of a struggle, due to that lowish GPA. BTW a 27 ACT is still about a 1220 SAT, so retake unless you think you can go up 2-3 points. --- What was your individual subscores on the ACT? (I hope you took the ACT w/ writing, as some of the schools listed above do require it)

For George Washington...does it make a difference that my brother graduated from there last year both Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa? And for BU would it make a difference if I applied early decision?

What is your class rank? If you rank high, you'll have a good chance as it will show that it is pretty difficult to get a high GPA at your school. ... and yes, applying early decision to BU will give you a boost, although it still will not make up for your lower than average SAT/ACT score for BU. If you are willing to go to BU's college of general studies, you'll make a perfect fit because their SAT average is: 1130-1240 ACT: 24-26 More info on BU: http://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/class.html
