<p>I would call Penn, Duke, Harvard, Princeton, and JHU reaches but the rest should be good. Legacy doesn’t help nearly as much as you would think for the Ivys (source - brother got rejected from Yale with a perfect GPA and 35 on ACT. Mom and Grandfather went there and Grandfather donates a lot). Other than that I might just narrow down the number of schools so that you don’t have to write so many essays!</p>

<p>You will most likely get into all schools. Only true reaches are Harvard, Princeton, and JHU. Best of luck!</p>

<p>@Alec43 I actually have a well worked out timeline for writing my essays, and actually got quite a few done already. Let’s just hope I can adhere to it well.</p>

<p>Then you should be good!!! I wish I would’ve done that…</p>

<p>Rather intriguing list of schools …Ivies and JHU for Engg, BC and Georgetown for Chem ?!? Have you thought through this ?</p>
