<p>It would be helpful if you included what scores you received on your AP tests. Sometimes that can put a lot of leverage on your acceptance. Your only worry should be that your unweighted GPA is a bit below par for some colleges you applied to. I would say:</p>

<p>Tufts: Reach
Brandeis: Slight reach
Boston College: Slight reach
NYU: Slight reach
U of Rochester: Match
Boston U: Match/safety
UMass: Safety</p>

<p>Tufts: Slight Reach / Reach
Brandeis: Match
Boston College: Slight Reach
NYU: Slight Reach

<p>Tufts is a pretty high reach. Brandeis and NYU are lower reaches. BC, BU and U Rochester are high matches. Umass is certainly a safety.</p>

<p>Boston college - Reach
Boston university - Possible
University of Rochester - Possible
NYU - Likely
Tufts - Reach
UMASS Amherst - Safety</p>

<p>good luck</p>
