<p>I think that UChicago, without good essays, is out of the question. Sure your stats are good, but your ECs are only decent and don’t strike me as particularly quirky. </p>

<p>On the other hand, Duke and Northwestern you will have a great shot at! Though I wouldn’t call them matches (they aren’t for anyone, really), I’d say they’re definitely high match/low reaches.</p>

<p>Lastly, Cornell and UPenn are Ivies. There really isn’t much more to say! I would put Cornell in the above category had you applied ED, but because you didn’t, it’s definitely a low-mid reach, along with UPenn.</p>

<p>Frankly, I don’t know much about NE, but given its acceptance rate and average scores, it’s a low match.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>All the schools you are looking at are extremely difficult for anyone, no matter the grades, test scores, or ECs. That being said, I think Northeastern is a match, Northwestern and Duke you have a good shot, and UPenn, Cornell, and UChicago are all stretches because they all require flawless essays, extremely strong EC’s, and even higher test scores.</p>
