I'll keep it short and simple:

NYU, Columbia, Stonybrook, Penn, BU, Tufts, Temple, UMDNJ. I'm worried that I'm applying to too little. What's your take? Ideally I'd like to go to NYU/Columbia.

~3.5 sGPA
3.65 oGPA
I've hit the bottom before. My freshman year I had a cumulative GPA of 3.0 sooo... it took a long time to bring that up. I'll be a senior in college next year.

Economics major
23 AA [with 17 RC...]
25 TS
22 PAT

I have good recs, good EC, and a lot of leadership.

Oh, how'd I forget that, hahah. But do you think this list is sufficient enough with my stats?

But I'm not a particular fan of Buffalo

I think you should add 2-3 more schools, just incase cause some schools will screen you out cause of the RC score, but ur all ur other stats are great. Add Maryland and Pitt.

I'm applying to the same 8 schools, just switching Harvard for Temple. Good luck!

This. Add Buffalo, Maryland and Pitt, which are all good schools.

I like commenting on your posts. 🙂 I'm actually only applying to 7 schools. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Yay for us overconfident non-science majors with average GPAs lol.

I honestly wouldn't call those average GPAs, unless you mean average in accepted classes rather than for all applicants.

I think you're good to go, good spectrum of schools. I've applied to 8 myself, though mine span the continent.

Nice! I'm still worried 🙁
I hope I get in somewhere...
