Mcgill publishes minimum test score for US applicants. Your scores are below the minimum for most programs.

UC Berkeley - Low reach
UC Los Angeles- Low reach
USC - Waitlist ---->acceptance
University of Washington- Match
McGill University- Reject
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill-Reach
University of Virginia - Reach
University of Georgia- high match
New York University - low reach
Syracuse - high match
Boston University - match
Northeastern University - reach
Oregon - safety/low match
Elon- safety (50% acceptance rate apparently).

Bring up your standardized test scores. Your superscore is below the 25% percentile for a bunch of the reach schools. To have a really good shot at them, you need higher scores. Right now you risk the chance of getting rejected from a bunch of these places. Good luck!

@TomSrOfBoston @j4jai127 I am confused how you thought my test scores were below for Mcgill? Their minimum ACT score is 26 and each individual score is 24. My act score is well above that

@theatregirl45 McGill does not superscore. Here are the minimum scores by program:

What is your highest composite? Some programs require a minimum of 29 or 30. And having the minimum in no way guarantees admission.
