<p>I think you have a decent chance at all of them except maybe Yale (which is a high reach for almost anybody).</p>

<p>Yay thank you. Yes, Yale is definitely my reach and I am trying to limit myself to Ivy/Top schools. Yale is my favorite so why not apply!</p>

<p>I think you’ve got a really good chance/match at almost all of those schools except Yale. HYPSM are reaches for everyone.

<p>bump bump bump!</p>

<p>Yale- Reach, but you do have a chance. Write a good essay! Also your high school will give you a bump a bit probably. Your EC’s are pretty common though, so nothing really stands out, so it puts more emphasis on your essay to show how who you are and what your passion is. Don’t you have good awards, maybe add those to your post! </p>

<p>Notre Dame, Tulane - Low matches. You should be fine, IMO. </p>

<p>WashU - Definite reach. You have the score, but not spectacular GPA. WashU is very diffiult to get into, and is more difficult to convey who you are to because there is no supplemental essay. Not a match because WashU rejects and waitlists so many students with top scores and high GPA’s and good EC’s because of its 15% admission rate.</p>
