My Chances of Getting into These Colleges?


Asked by Penguin
I saw a question and mine is similar. If someone can give me advice like Alphabet J can, that would be awesome: answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aqvr2ttqCR5z.ZaHQNzhggcjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20071012174532AAKJcOZ I am also from NJ. My unweighted GPA is 3.3 and weighted GPA is 4.0. My SAT score is 1350 on a 1600 scale or a 2080 on a 2400 scale. I am applying to these schools in order of what I'm guessing is hardest to get into: George Washington University Rutgers University (FIRST CHOICE) Purdue University Penn State SUNY Buffalo Boston University Albany College of Pharmacy Northeastern University Temple University How about New York University? I am trying for pharmacy, hopefully. Or dentistry (NYU), physian assistant (BU), or med (Penn State). So far I got into the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. I have a question about that school. Does anyone have any comments about it? It doesn't seem to be too selective because I got in lol. If anyone has any suggestions for other colleges that would suit me better, thank you in advance!

Your SAT scores are impressive, although your GPA is a little lower. Your school must weight grades terribly because there wasn't that huge of a difference in my weighted/unweighted. Ah well. It's hard to say sometimes based on GPA, with SAT it's better. GWU/Northeastern/Rutgers: your SATs can get you in, not sure about the GPA standards Purdue/Penn State/Boston: your GPA is not high enough but your SATs are NYU/Albany: same as above 3, but your GPA is way below what they would like SUNY Buffalo/Temple: you'll get in Philadelphia--- now based on your admission to this school I would say your chances at the other schools may work, because they're the most selective in terms of GPA on your list. not with SATs, but certainly with GPA. It's pretty much a school for pharmacy and physical therapy.
