You have some great EC’s. A few of them are reaches only because of the slightly low SAT score,
Best of Luck anyway!

You’ve got some great stats! I’m very familiar with only a few schools on your list, so for many I am just going off of the reputation of the school.

Schools:
Bucknell - match
Colgate - match to high match
Dartmouth - reach (for anyone)
Duke - low reach to reach
Lafayette - match
Lehigh - match
Northwestern - low reach to reach
Skidmore - low match
Trinity - low match
Tufts - high match
Vanderbilt - reach
Georgetown - reach

Bucknell - Not sure sorry
Colgate - Match
Dartmouth - Reach
Duke - Low reach
Lafayette - Match

Vanderbilt - Match
Georgetown - Reach

Chance me back, please? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/17961891#Comment_17961891

Not sure how being international affects your chances, sorry. This is what I would say if you were a URM from the States:

Bucknell - match
Colgate - match
Dartmouth - low reach
Duke - low reach
Lafayette - match
Lehigh - match
Northwestern - low reach
Skidmore - low match
Trinity - low match
Tufts - high match
Vanderbilt - high match
Georgetown - low reach

Good luck!

Applying for financial aid automatically makes all these schools reaches… unless you’re recruited for tennis. Have you contacted the coaches? If not do so asap.

I haven’t contacted any coach. I would rather not play tennis on a varsity level, while I enjoy it, its very tiring and time consuming.

I think that your stats are great!
Bucknell: Match
Colgate: Match
Dartmouth: Reach
Duke: Reach
Lafayette: High match
Lehigh: High match
Northwestern: Match
Skidmore: Mid reach
Trinity: Match
Tufts: Match/Low Reach
Vanderbilt: Reach
Georgetown: Reach/Low Reach
Good luck!

Except for Dartmouth, Duke, and Vanderbilt, I’d say GREAT MATCH. Those three are slight reaches because of the lower W. Overall, you could be accepted to all of these schools. You’ve put in a lot of hard work and should be proud. A lot of great EC’s with a great academic record! Chance me please? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1728965-chance-me-please-will-chance-back.html

Bucknell-No Idea

I have no idea about the ones I have not chanced

Since you’re an international student, many of these schools are not need blind. How much can you afford to pay?

Duke, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, and Georgetown are reaches.
Tufts, SKidmore, and Colgate are matches.
I don’t know enough about the other schools to give you a good estimate.

Good luck!

Around 25k
