You have a good shot of being admitted to any of those schools. Caltech is probably your biggest reach. Berkeley, Georgetown and Cornell are high matches. Dartmouth, Brown and Duke are lowish reaches.

You’re a shoe-in anywhere. How many times did you take the SAT? Make sure your essays and Recs are fire and reflect your EC involvement.
