Is this a well balanced/realistic list considering my application?
Thanks in advance</p>
<p>I’m from Rochester so that’s one of the few schools on that last I’m really comfotrable with giving you a chance to, but based on what I see, your’e in U of R. Hopefully your retake in October for the SAT does you good as well.</p>
<p>Lafayette, Wesleyan, Davidson, Richmond and Rochester look like solid low target/high safeties.</p>
<p>Northwestern and Wash U look like low reaches for you.</p>
<p>Williams Dartmouth Duke Rice HYPSM are obviously reaches for anyone, but you have a shot.</p>
<p>I was admitted to Lafayette last year with a 2060 SAT score and a 3.76 UW GPA, so you should be fine. Also I have a friend with similar stats to mine and he got into Rochester.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks for your thoughts, does anybody else have any?(Bump)
I’ll chance back if you want!</p>
<p>Show interest in WUSTL to increase your chances- the Ivies are always a reach.</p>
<p>You can PM me if you have questions about the school.</p>
<p>You’re pretty heavy on low matches/safeties. Do you really want to apply to 14 schools? For your reaches/high matches, it makes sense to apply to lots, as you probably won’t get into all of them. However, realistically look at all the schools you’re almost certainly getting in to, and consider narrowing them down. If you got into every safety on that list, which one would you attend? Then pick that one or two.</p>
