maybe UPenn or Georgetown as a true reach school
Please just leave feedback on what schools I have a good chance getting into and things I can do to improve my chances. Thank YOU!
I’d say you have a pretty good chance all around, and your ECs do set you apart. Is money an object for you?
Anyways, you imply that Penn and Georgetown are true reach schools; you actually have a few of those (just saying)
I would consider all of the following good reaches (note that publics have in-state bias):
USC, UCLA, NYU,
The following, I’d call low reaches: UMich, BC, BU, UVA (in-state bias)
The following, I’d call normal fits: WF, Villanova
And here are some low fits (still not technically safeties): Fordham, Penn State Smeal
I’ll be honest, you don’t really have any true safeties, but I’m pretty sure that you’ll get into at least your low fits. Still, I’d recommend applying to something with rolling admissions. Good luck, and no need to chance me back.
Thank you this was very helpful
