I think you’ll be safe with Maryland, Ohio State, Boston University, and Boston College. With USC and Georgetown, perhaps Northwestern as well, you may want to get your ACT up. But, Georgetown is weirdly selective and just make sure when writing your application you think about how you’ll fit into the community and Georgetown, and what you’ll add! That’s advice I’ve gotten from current students. I think you have a good balance of reaches and safeties though, just make sure to write your application essays in an appealing way. You have a lot of EC’s but none of them really seem to stand out? So perhaps work on thinking of why those stand out to you and then making them stand out to others as well. Hope this helps!
