<p>MY STATS</p>

<p>Special note: My high school is a competitive science and tech magnet (so you apply but it's public). This means all the classes are honors classes but my country grades on a 94-100 (A) grading scale.
I was out sick for almost 2 months during sophmore year and hopefully this explains the dip in my GPA as I was unable to test well when I was sick. I have a health plan in place at school and my counselor can vouch for this.</p>

<p>I'm wondering if I'm right in placing these following schools in these groups.</p>

<p>Reaches:
Brandeis (Legacy-mother's school)
Northwestern
Emory
Vanderbilt
Barnard (Legacy-grandmother's school)
UC Berkeley</p>

<p>Likely Matches:
American University
Carnegie Mellon
SUNY-Binghamton
UVA
William and Mary</p>

<p>Safties:
Case Western Reserve
Clark University
George Mason
Alleghany University</p>

<p>Are these schools realistic choices and goals? What are my chances at Northwestern, Brandeis, and American (my top choices)?
Possible Majors: Engineering, International Relations, Pre-law, Political Science</p>

<p>i think all of your schools are realistic choices. The reaches are reaches definitely, but you should still apply. never know...</p>

<p>William and Mary and UVA are unlikely matches............high reaches for you. I understand you had issues, but 3.6 is still a 3.6.</p>

<p>Best of luck. </p>

<p>Yes, George Mason is a safety school for you.</p>
