<p>Well...</p>

<p>Boston College EA- reach
Carnegie Mellon University (Schools: IS, MCS, HSS)- high match/low reach
University of Michigan- match, low match if you decide to pack your bags and move instste. My friend from there got accepted with a 26 ACT
New York University- low reach
Boston University- low match
St. Johns University Pharmacy (sis is currently attending this program.)- low reach (might want to consider honors if going here)
Washington University at St. Louis- High reach
Emory University- reach/ high reach</p>

<p>Projected SAT score- 2070 (equivelant of 31 ACT)</p>

<p>Your GPA and extracurriculars are going to kill your chances at many of these places, but fortunately these are relatively easy to fix.
So, land a pharmacy internship for the summer, donate some time to the local animal shelter, hospital, or nursing home, and spend some time to try and get that GPA to a 3.4. That's when Wash U, the Ivies, and others can come back into play.</p>

<p>Also, come chance me at Small-town Junior looking for advice and chances on big-name schools - I have similar stats.</p>
