I’ll chance back. Thanks.
Villanova and GW looks like you have a pretty good shot well within range (i don’t know too much about Villanovas business program though). Lafayette, Lehigh are a little iffy but you definitely still have a chance. I’d suggest applying to a few more reaches since you have a high gpa and decent test scores… worth a shot right? Won’t hurt to apply. Pretty good ec’s but I know it helps a lot to have some athletic activity, some volunteer activity, and some art activity. You got the first two, but is there anything artistic at all you’ve done? Not crucial, but it can make you a little more well rounded (but only if you have a blank spot on the common app activities section, otherwise just make up for it with a creative/unique essay).
Chance me?
