<p>How many volunteer and work hours do you have total?</p>

3

<p>No, you’re fine, you’ve got very good grades and test scores and pretty good ECs as well. All the colleges you listed are high/low matches!</p>

4

<p>Princeton is a high reach and Northeastern is a high match. I don’t think you’re aiming too high but add safeties and another match to that list. Ideally you’d have 2 safeties, 3 matches, and 3 reaches.

<p>Oh yeah, Chlogan is right, Princeton is a reach.</p>

6

<p>Regarding community service hour I dont have a total but I would say around 150 hours</p>

7

<p>WashU, UNC (if OOS), Princeton are medium high reaches. 32 or 2k is too low for princeton and for washu 32 is at like 25th percentile.</p>
