You’ve got a good shot at all of them. Are you applying for financial aid ?

3

Definitely @sgopal2

If you don’t mind taking a risk with the financial aid then pick one and apply ED to increase your chances further

***When I say first-gen, I mean I will be the first in my family to graduate from a four-year college.

I don’t ordinarily get involved in “chance me” threads, but yours jumped out because S1, also a URM was accepted to all 4 of the schools you mention.

I am responding mostly to wish you luck, but to warn you to temper your expectations. A lot of uninformed people will give you false hope since you are an URM. Unfortunately your EC profile is not attention grabbing, you don’t mention any major awards or distinct leadership, and your stats although wonderful, are not tippy top.

You will certainly get into a great school and should be very proud of your achievements, but I hope you are planning to add more realistic schools to your list along with the 4 you mention.

@planner03 Yeah I do have more schools on my list, I just think these 4 might be out my reach. Thanks for the advice!

low reaches for all; you have a great shot but they’re reaches for everyone
