<p>Thanks a lot for reading this!!!!! You're the best...</p>

<p>Yale ED- Reach
Tufts- match
GTown SFS- slight reach
GW- safe match
UChicago- match (all about essays though)
Columbia- Reach
Amherst- Reach
Bowdoin- safe match
American- safety</p>

<p>dont know anything about california LACs
note: ivies are less reachy than full reaches because of URM status, but i hesitate to call them slight reaches</p>

<p>if you get recruited, of course that raises your chances. also look at Johns Hopkins for IR, you would have a pretty good shot to get in there and its a very good program, ranked just behind Georgetown SFS</p>

<p>oh yea i forgot johns hopkins!!!</p>

<p>thanks for your responses so far!</p>

<p>anyone else have more opinions?</p>

<p>JHU would be a match to a slight reach</p>

<p>bump...</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>
