<p>Uh… I don’t think you need me to tell you that your stats are superb, but all of the schools listed, except maybe Wash U, are extraordinarily difficult to predict. My predictions are as follows:</p>

<p>Yale: High Reach (for anyone)
Stanford: Reach (I assume you’re not from CA)
Wash U: You’re not getting in. The reason for this is because Wash U will probably look at your stats and determine that you’re not genuinely interested in them because you are qualified for better and more prestigious schools. Wash U is one of the schools that suffers from “Tufts syndrome” in this respect.</p>

<p>Either way, you’ll end up somewhere good.</p>

<p>^I agree, but with two additions:

  1. Don’t bother retaking the SAT. You have an amazing score already, and, more importantly, you have a perfect ACT composite.
  2. WashU may suffer from “Tufts syndrome,” but they’re such a highly ranked university that it won’t be too much of a problem. If you show genuine interest in supplemental essays and such, you’ll be fine :)</p>
