<p>Dartmouth, Cornell, Georgetown, and JHU are reaches, with Cornell as a low reach. I think other than that you’ve got a fair chance. </p>

<p>to be honest, never come on this website relying on the opinons of other people. you don’t know the education of anyone on here or how much research they do. with the time you took posting this, i highly suggest you instead research average accepted gpas and tests scores of the schools you are interested in.
i compeltely understand where you are coming from but just try to do your own research and dont be discouraged by anyone on here. you dont want to trust a bunch of strangers with your future and let them decide where and where you shouldn’t apply!</p>

<p>@longhorndreamer‌ I understand that CC is not a place to determine whether I will apply or not. I just want to use this as a frame of reference. I am also doing my research on my own. This can be fairly inaccurate anyways.</p>

<p>But bump… I would like more opinions. I will chance back.</p>
