<p>All of those are low match except for Stanford, which may be a low reach/reach</p>

<p>I disagree with the poster above me. Stanford is a reach for all and cannot be considered low reach. While your ECs look nice, all those traveling experiences look like you have money to blow on trips. Not saying that it is a bad thing but colleges may not consider those too extraordinary. Your high matches are NYU and maybe Tufts. The rest are low reaches.</p>

<p>I agree. Your trips to foreign countries won’t hold much weight because while it does speak to your volunteering/community service, all it tells them is that you had enough money to go to exotic foreign countries. Don’t expect that to sway an admissions decision.</p>

<p>If you know those languages you need to take classes @ schools or SAT IIs…</p>
