Barnard: low reach
John’s Hopkins : reach
McGill - I don’t know much about this school, sorry
Brandeis: match
Boston College: match
Try to improve your ACT scores, GPA looks great however.
This may sound odd but you might want to narrow down your EC’s a bit and try to achieve excellence in a few of them, to show schools that you are pursuing your passions. I know it sounds odd but with so many, they almost seem a bit watered down. Try to come up with a hook! Great start however :slight_smile:
Chance me back?

<p>Barnard has a 23% acceptance rate; getting a 31 would merely make it a low reach. 32+ would move Barnard out of reach territory.</p>

<p>In fact, as far as McGill is concerned, it’s a safety for most majors; however, if architecture is your thing, send a portfolio, or if music is your thing, ask a music teacher to write a letter of recommendation prior to auditioning.</p>
