Georgetown and down the list I would say are pretty much guaranteed, with the potential for some good $ too.

CMU and Cornell, you are likely in but many will be like you so I don’t think you’ll get as much aid.

Northwestern I say you’re in, especially considering you are EDing there.

Keep in mind, though, that your demographics are frequently seen in a different (I believe extremely racist and classist) way.

Wherever you go, keep up that research, and you can probably go far.

The best of luck, and its really a crapshoot sometimes!

you do realize I have a 3.4 right?

IMO a 3.4 GPA makes most of your colleges reach schools (and I think you already know that from your many other chance me threads).

Georgetown should never be a “guaranteed” for any applicant imo
