based on this info, what are my chances of getting into those schools? Also, my counselor said that most schools don’t look at writing sat. Do any of the schools i listed above look at writing?
You will almost certainly get into one of them if you apply to them all. Ives like Cornell and known difficult schools like NYU are a reach for anyone. But schools like Binghamton are not too bad with grades and test score like yours. BU is pretty close to a dead cert with your stats.
You really need to contact the schools to find out if they look at the writing SAT. It is unwise to base decisions on what most schools do – the schools you are interested in may be the exception. Only one way to find out – contact them.
Thanks
