<p>Firstly, you totally don’t need SAT if you already have ACT. If you haven’t already, take a practice test just to see how high your score can get. If its lower than your ACT equivalent then don’t worry about it. </p>
<p>So I think that most of the choices that you want are somewhat reaches. And I say this not because of your scores or extracurriculars, just because they’re selective schools! If you were only to apply to these schools I don’t think you would be guaranteed admission to any of them. </p>
<p>That being said, I think if you applied to these schools plus 2 matches and a safety your list would be perfect. I think there is quite a chance that you would be accepted to these schools.</p>
<p>Also, your intended major and college within each school makes a difference. If you are applying into the college of arts and sciences somewhere with an undecided major your app will be less scrutinized then someone applying to Wharton at UPenn for example, whose math scores will be looked at closely.</p>
<p>If you’re a girl and you’re interested in engineering be sure to indicate that, some schools like Stanford for example are eager to have more girls in STEM programs (so I’ve heard). </p>
<p>Harvard: Super Reach
Columbia: Super reach
Duke: Super reach (Applying ED makes a huge difference though)
Cornell: reach
Vandy: reach (Apply EDII if your EDI doesn’t work out & you’re super interested)
University of Chicago: reach
Northwestern: reach (Selectivity ranges on which major you’re applying to)
Stanford: Super reach
UC Berkeley: Reach/Match. Instate/Out of State matters.
John Hopkins: Reach/Match
Baylor: I don’t know enough about this school.
NYU: match, Stern is harder to get into but I’m sure you could do it
UNC Chapel Hill: match if you’re instate, reach if you’re out</p>
<p>Schools to Consider:
UPenn - ED makes a difference
Georgetown - Wonderful for poly sci, pre-law, great for internships while studying
Boston College - well respected
Emory - I’ve heard people get amazing jobs after graduation, notabel business school
Rice - especially if you are interested in STEM classes
UCLA - especially for medical
Dartmouth - why not?
Brown - Especially selective. Super reach.
Wash U in St. Louis - World renowned medical/science programs
USC - A great school with loyal alums who are known to give amazing jobs to graduates, a match school for you (pretty much a safety), and you’ll have an amazingly fun collegiate experience</p>
