<p>can anyone help</p>

<p>You are a strong match for Holy Cross. To cememtn it be sure to interview and take official tour. Showing real interest is key. Lehigh, Binghamton, Richmond, Villanova are also good matches.
BC, Georgetown, UPenn, Notre Dame will be reaches but definite possibilities.</p>

<p>since your GPA uw+w is closely similar, I’m assuming that you haven’t taken many honors/AP classes. That may hurt you in your chances for some schools specifically UPenn, GT and CMU. For those schools, you should also definitely up your SAT.
ECs except for Crew look sorta weak. Might wanna up that too.</p>

<p>Georgetown- Reach
Upenn- High Reach
BC - Low Reach
Villanova- High Match
Lehigh- High Match
Carngie mellon- Reach
Notre dame- Reach
University of Virgina- Reach
Holy Cross- In
Binghamton- Match

<p>Basically, not enough difficult classes. How can you go from all regular classes your whole high school career to 5 APs?</p>

<p>Your crew sounds great, congrats on states!
I would try to increase meaningful volunteer activity hours.
Also, can you elaborate on your academics such as which AP courses you are taking and how many? Your transcript is very important when we try to keep your GPA and class ranking in perspective.</p>
