Would each of these schools be a match, safety, or reach? THANK YOU!!!
UVA
William and Mary
GWU
American
BU
Georgetown
Princeton
I think you have a good shot at all of them, you can probably expect to get into most of them except Princeton since it is so competitive, though you have as good a chance as anyone. Also wondering how you know that you’re a National Merit semifinalist? I don’t know if I am (my index was 217) and didn’t know you could find out already. Does not knowing mean that I’m not one? Thanks!
@agc2299 hi! I jumped the gun a little bit on that one. I’m just speculating for my state (FL). I know no more than you do! Sorry to worry you!
Haha no worries, I sometimes miss stuff like that so I was just wondering lol
Your grades and scores look great! Even though your ECs are great, they’re a bit scattered and don’t seem to show a passion you have. If in your essays you really let something special about you shine, you have a good chance at all if these schools! Btw have you taken subject SATs? I know Georgetown requires 3 of them. I’d appreciate it if you chance me back!

I think you got a good shot at all of these, except for Georgetown and Princneton which will be reaches. UVA and William & Mary will be harder because you are out of state, but I would say they are high matches/low reaches but completely doable if you write good essays. All other ones you should be able to get into.
@Ozymandias1124 I can guarantee you will be accepted to George Washington, BU, and American. Congrats!
