<p>Vandy and Duke and Gtown are matches. WashU is a high match and Stanford is a reach.</p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>I think you have a great shot at all of those schools with your ACT score and I think Iowa is underepresented at some of those schools. Stanford will be your biggest reach, but you definately have a shot.</p>

<p>I agree with the previous 2 posters (and I think being from Iowa will help you)
I would just like to add that Penn will be just a big of a reach as WashU but not as high as Stanford
please return the favor

<p>I think you will for sure get in to all of the above schools save for UPenn and Stanford because frankly..no one will get into those schools for sure</p>

<p>u did a very good job of exhibiting desire to expand oppurtunities despite small size of your high school</p>

<p>plz return the favor</p>

<p>I would submit your ACT and not your SAT as your SAT could possibly dampen your brilliant chances. (:</p>

<p>Stanford [EA]-reach
UWashington StL-high match
UPenn-low reach
Duke-high match/low reach
Georgetown University- match
Vanderbilt-match</p>

<p>you have a great shot everywhere, and your region is probably underrepresented which will help you in admissions</p>
