<p>Your scores are good but I can’t really interpret your grades-I don’t have a frame of reference. You should probably add more schools to the list to make it more well-rounded.</p>

<p>My suggestions (these schools range from low match to reach level)
Emory
Boston College
NYU
UMich
UCLA/UCB/UCSD/UCSB
USC
Boston University
George Washington University
Georgetown
Brandeis
If you’re a girl: Barnard/Wellesley</p>

<p>@earlyaction95 Yes, I will need financial aid unless the cost of attendance is something close to $20,000</p>

<p>@shk909 Thanks for your opinion.
I won’t be able to afford most of the mentioned colleges though.</p>

<p>Don’t know about Texas a&m…
But Duke is definitely a reach and so are the others that you mentioned.
Why?
Good scores, but weak EC’s.
U are aiming for colleges that already get applicants with great scores and great EC’s.
I suggest that you find colleges that will give you good merit aid. coz your scores are very good nonetheless…</p>
