<p>were you ever contacted by one of the schools for gymnastics? if so, it will increase your chances by a long shot. Your SAT is competitive and you have a great shot for all.
Brown: reach
Columbia; reach
Northwestern: high match
Pomona: low reach (really really tough this year)
Don’t know about the rest really. Of course, chance threads are really bogus because no two applicants are alike. For these colleges, it all comes down to the essays, after you clear test scores and gpa thresholds. Best of luck. Chance me if you can :slight_smile:
