<p>You should look at Holy Cross. I am prejudiced as I am a graduate of The College with a daughter currently a junior. It is an exceptional school with outstanding academics and a great atmosphere that promotes student cooperation. 90% of students graduate, a good indication that the school picks students who will fit and then helps them succeed. SATs are optional. Holy Cross is looking for well-rounded students and yourr extracurriculars will help.</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot at all of those except probably ND and Georgetown, just be your ACT is sorta low for those. You have some interesting ECs, and have taken challenging classes in the humanities. I'd say if your essays and recs are solid, you have a great shot.</p>
