African American High-income Female Aiming for Ivy League [High stat, PA resident, chemistry/biology]

You have an excellent profile that is competitive for all the colleges on your list. Both Tufts and Northeastern yield protect so be sure to demonstrate interest. Subscribe to their mailing lists and visit, if you can. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into one or more of your reaches.

Several years ago, there was a similar Chance Me thread (i.e. high achieving AfAm female) and OP had excellent college outcomes earning admission to lots of top colleges.

Some posters have already mentioned potential changes to affirmative action and its effect on your college outcomes. There will be an impact, but perhaps not as large as people think. I don’t know about other colleges but Penn is already reviewing its admissions process to still build a diverse class of incoming students.
