<p>I’d say you’re good for a lot those schools, just not UPenn…and possibly UVA. But, I’m from the west coast and very dim-witted in the schools of the east.
So being the Californian that I am, I suggest Claremont Colleges in California. :] or UC Davis, they have an excellent program in the sciences!</p>

<p>your stats are pretty much good enough for lehigh, but they are huge on demonstrated interest so if you really want to go there you should probably go visit or something…</p>

<p>Yeah, penn is definitely a reach.</p>

<p>You have a nice variety of safeties, matches and reaches. Some of your reaches are Lehigh and UPenn. Some of your matches are UDelaware and UMaryland. Some of your safeties are College of New Jersey and Rutgers. Best wishes!</p>
