Out of these colleges that I'm applying to, what would you consider to be safety schools for me (a 4.0 dual enrollment student with 31 ACT (superscored) )?

Boston University
Butler University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
Duke University
Harvard College
Northwestern University
Stanford University
Syracuse University
University of Michigan
University of Pennsylvania
Vanderbilt University

Is there any other good safety schools you could suggest that I apply to as well?
I'm just super worried about not getting into ANY schools.

Looking at acceptance rates and average scores, I would say that Boston, Butler, Syracuse, and Michigan are safety for a student at your level.

btw have you considered raising your ACT score? A lot of the reach schools you're applying to have average scores of 33-34. I never took the ACT so I'm not sure if there's that much of a difference between a 31 and 33 but it might be something to think about, idk.

Good luck! I didn't show the initiative and enthusiasm you have when I was applying for schools and sent a bunch of halfhearted applications with a poor SAT (considering the reach schools I was applying to). I was accepted into two of them, but looking back it's eating me up - I should have worked harder and aimed higher.

I wanted to raise my score, but the colleges will not get my new ACT scores in time before a decision is made. Instead, I'm taking two SAT Subject Tests (Math Level 2 and Biology) to hopefully raise my chances.

Thank you! I'm hoping to get into at least a couple of my reach schools because I really do not want to go to Michigan.


Congrats on getting accepting into two reach schools! If you don't mind me asking, what ones did you get accepted to?

Emory and Washington University in St Louis. The former has an acceptance rate of 27 and the latter 15.6.

Looking @ your scores and GPA, Emory might be a safe bet for you actually

Oh nice! I'll definitely check Emory out!
It seems nice given that it's ranked #10 for best LGBT colleges.

I live kinda close to it and the campus is stunning tbh

And being in Georgia means the weather is typically pleasant year-round

Oh awesome! The essays don't seem bad either. Let me just bust it out so I have another safe school!


Also, being in Atlanta means I can use my days off to find the Real Housewives!

I'm gonna start the university next year.... again... I'm graduated from college since 2012 (I was 16), and I started studying Odontology back in 2013, but this year, in january, I left the career because It was not my thing.. a normal mistake, but I never expected to see myself in that situation.

But now I'm more mature, I believe. and I believe that people who don't do what they really like, are mediocre in their job at the end of the day, and I don't want that future for me.

now I chose Psychology, I'm 20 and I feel so old (because here in my country we start the university too young)

Is a 1810 score on the SAT good?

[SweetTalker]

And do universities take into account your weighed (?) GPA (the one with AP classes), or just the normal GPA????

I got into Syracuse but tuition is so expensive like

I got wait-listed at BU because I realized I applied late but I'm glad I am where I am now

tbh you'll be happy wherever you go, you just have to go in with a positive attitude.

It really depends where you're looking to go. That score can get you into a lot of schools, but top schools want scores above 2000.

You did better than 82% of the people that took that SAT all over the world. Don't let the 2400 *****s tell you that's a bad score. It's really good! If you have more chances keep trying because of course a higher score will not hurt.

Hmm I am planning on going to the Loyola University at New Orleans. I actually visited the school this summer, but I guess I didn't care about that visit that much because I can't remember a thing they told me

The fact that I'm graduating in 5 months is just hitting me.

Hope y'all got good grades this last semester! I ended my term with a 3.9

I've heard Syracuse is an INSANE party school though, I'd pay that tuition for a good party. My gay ass has never been to a party.


Where are you currently?

In two weeks I start my last semester of college. Time sure flies.

Hopefully you get in! We could be classmates.


What do you think caused the deferral?

OOS + high SAT. they literally deferred anybody they think has a chance in Ivy admissions.

They deferred me (2310) and my friend (2400) EA. we were actually cackling for a little while and then realized the ****ery that umich admissions is
