Unfortunately these days, legacy has become somewhat less useful, especially for the type of school that Georgetown is. I wouldn’t really consider a 1460 SAT and 3.4/3.5 uW GPA as numbers of a Penn or Georgetown admit, and your extracurriculars seem like the status quo for most students who apply to those schools. I would consider all 3 of your reach schools high reaches (UNC has a very low admit rate for OOS students), and maybe even push BU into the reach category. Then again, with your URM status and without knowing the quality of your essays, anything could happen. GL!
