That’s a good list but some will be tough. Mendoza, Cornell, Penn, CM and Ross, tough. However, Asian population at ND is very low so that may work out.

The rest look good, you will get in a few.

Personally, I would take Fordham and NYU off and put on Lehigh or Bucknell. NYU gives terrible financial aid.

Based on the most likely, Boston College would be my pick.

bump!

Your quantitative aspects are a bit weak, but your ECs are very strong and focused! I’d say that Penn and Cornell are high reaches but the other’s are low ones/matches.

6

All the ivies are reaches (as they are for everyone), but for NYU, BC, BU, Northeastern, you are right up there! UCLA/UCB and Carnegie Mellon are low reaches.
