<p>I think you have a good shot and that you should go for it! I mean, you miss all of the shots you never take, right?</p>

<p>I wasn’t completely impressed with your resume (it’s good, just nothing outstanding for an Indian female, which I am as well) until I came down to your “Other” section. I think colleges will be impressed with all of your humanitarian work. Kudos to all of the great things that you have done!</p>

3

<p>You have an interesting profile. With a good SAT score, you should be a preferred candidate in most of the schools you listed. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>Brown, Columbia, and Northwestern are mid reaches, Georgetown is low reach, and I would say Rice is a match.</p>

5

<p>Rice is not a match for anyone</p>

<p>I would say rice, Georgetown, and around those ranges are matches for some students. This student happens to be one. The rest are reaches, but doable ones. Nice humanitarian work!</p>
