<p>Your hook sounds interesting, but I’m not sure it’s considered a hook in the admissions process. You’ll need to ask a senior member or an expert. 32 ACT is enough for all your schools except for maybe wustl and Georgetown? Are you in Virginia? If so, I think your chances at UVA may be pretty solid.</p>
<p>If you end up as val, then you’ve got no problems GPA and rank-wise. However, you don’t have many ECs and they lack focus a little, so I think it might hurt you, but a strong essay might remedy this.</p>
<p>So, to sum up:
Boston College - low match
Georgetown - high match/low reach
Washington U in St. Louis - reach
Carnegie Mellon - high match
NYU (legacy) - safety
UF - low match
UMich - high match
University of Virginia - high match/low reach</p>
