Georgetown: Reach
GWU: Match
Syracuse: Low match</p>

<p>Thanks! I appreciate the input!</p>

<p>UNC-CH: Is a reach, being outstate it is incredibly difficult for everyone.
USC: Low Reach
Georgetown: Reach
GWU: Match
Syracuse: Low Match</p>

<p>I think that your ECs are incredible and if you wrote a strong essay about them, then your chances will drastically increase at each college you are looking into!
Good luck!</p>
