High Honor Roll (Except 3rd Quarter Freshman year and 2nd Quarter Junior year)

Work: I got hired by a job and will work hopefully at least 20 hours a week for the summer (my goal is above 30)
Recommendation Letters: I got the two letters. Both are from teachers where even though my grade is not high (B+/A-), I actively participate in class, help students, stay after for extra help, and make the entire class laugh (in a good way).
The schools that are currently on my mind are:
- University of New Hampshire (Would be bioengineering)
- Ithaca College (3+2 program or just major in Physics)
- Marquette University
- Worcester Polytechnic Institute
- Georgia Institute of Technology
- Univeristy of Minnesota - Twin Cities
- University of Wisconsin - Madison
- Rochester Institute of Technology
- University of Connecticut
What would you label as safeties, targets, and reaches?
