<p>I disagree with Ari on several counts:</p>

<p>Northwestern, Tufts, Cornell, WUSTL, Duke, MIT, Dartmouth -- all reaches of varying levels. I think your applying early to NU will really help you though -- my feeling is you'll get in and be done with it!</p>

<p>CMU -- High match</p>

<p>BU, UMiami - Safeties</p>

<p>how DARE you abbreviate northwestern as NW?</p>

6

<p>my bad, accustomed to thinking "NorthWestern... ok.. NW.." but i know its NU. just my stupid impulses.</p>

7

<p>i think mit is a reach. even with urm status your subject tests are low... but not a HUGE reach. cornell i think you'd get in easy though...</p>

<p>You're in at Northwestern is my bet!</p>
