<p>What format is that GPA in? Is it out of a 100? </p>

<p>What does that equate to on a 4.0 scale?</p>

<p>Northeastern University: Safety - only 2% of their students have ACT between 30 and 36, you’re great in that area, especially with all your music related stuff. High acceptance rate means you’ll almost definitely get in.
Vassar: Match. They have high ACT, but yours is still above average. Provided your essays are/were good, you have a decent chance.
American University: Great Match - You have great ACT and SAT for the college
George Mason Honor College: Great Match - Scores well above their averages
George Washington University: match - scores above average, lots of ECs, you’ll do great
Wellesley College: Match - Scores are above average, great list of ECs, as long as you have good essays you’ll get in</p>

<p>Honestly, with your scores, you could be shooting much higher. Maybe not Ivy League, but you have an ACT of 34 - that’s really good. Your two highest are Vassar and Wellesle, and you are still above and beyond their averages. Provided your GPA is what I think it is (I’m assuming a 4.0, since a 93 is an A) and your ECs are as plentiful as they seem, you should be a great match for all of these. Hell, I’d even put safety as the ranking for some of these schools for you.</p>

<p>You will most likely get into all of those schools, maybe even get a scholarship at any of them if they offer merit-based. I would highly recommend applying to more competitive schools, because you may even get into an Ivy league. Your SATs are a little below average for an Ivy, but you have tons of extracurriculars which will help. It can’t hurt to apply and try! Columbia and Princeton have good international affair programs. As well, of course, as Yale, but Yale is much more competitive than Columbia.</p>
