<p>How many of these colleges are possible for me to enter? How many of them are reaches? Which ones are just impossible?</p>

Won silvercord award for 400 hours of volunteer service at a hospitol, working as a TA for a biology class, tutoring middle school students in science and working at the local animal shelter.
Plan to major in Biology or Biochemistry
I think I can write good enough essays as well, and I don't think finding good recs would be too hard either.</p>

<p>Schools:
University of Iowa
Northwestern University
Emory University
Carnegie Mellon University
Wake Forest University
Brandeis University
University of Rochester (dream school)
Tulane University
Boston University</p>

<p>If any of these schools seem so far out of reach that I would probably not get in, please let me know. I'd like to save some money and possibly scratch off the schools I have little to no chance to. Plus, I'm trying hard to get my gpa over the 3.6 range. The thing is, I'm really close to an A in chemistry, but it seems to be very hard to do so. I'll try, but do I have a good to great chance for any of these schools? If I can apply to EA to any of them, I will.</p>

<p>I’d say Northwestern and Carnegie Mellon are more of reaches for you than UofR is (because of your ACT). Tulane and Brandeis are, in my opinion, pretty realistic, but not quite safety.</p>

<p>Alright. If you had to give me a percent, how likely is it that I can get into UofR?</p>

6

<p>I have a really good friend at UofR and her roommate got in with like a 24 on the ACT (UofR median is 28-33). I’m no admissions officer, though.</p>

7

<p>Alright. Thanks. Anyone else got advice?</p>
