<p>Pretty strong ECs and gpa.
Only thing slightly low is your SAT II scores...
american university-in
smith college-match
bryn mawr college-low reach
Barnard College-mid reach </p>

<p>Sorry, I don't know enough about the others. Just make sure your essays are good and you have a fairly decent shot at all of them!</p>

<p>thanks for the response.</p>

<p>concerning my rank, i previously was ranked 34/270, but after my junior year and first quarter this year, I moved up to ~1/270. A letter has been sent to all of the colleges I am applying to explaining this.</p>

<p>American, BC, Villanova, and Holy Cross- Match

<p>so many views, yet so few replies.</p>

<p>american university - in
smith college - match
mount holyoke college - greater than 50/50
villanova university - match
bryn mawr college - reach
college of the holy cross
Bates (pretty much my number 1 choice!) - they seem kind of loosey goosey. If you're that kind of person than I'd say you have a decent shot because your stats are nice and rounded
Boston College - reach
Barnard College (I'm not really sure if I'm applying. I'm considering another reach school and I thought this would be a good choice for me) - yeah this is probably a reach for you</p>

<p>Your SATs are good - not stellar, but good. You should be proud of them.
Your SAT IIs are a little lower - that might the issue you face.
And also your APs, although I hear that doesn't matter much in admissions.</p>
