<p>MD- Match/Safety
Duke- Reach
UVA- is D.C. considered in-state, if so match
NYU- no idea
Princeton- Reach
Mich.- Their average GPA of incoming freshmen last year was 3.7(uw) and accepted 62%...I'd say match, maybe match/reach because you're OOS</p>

<p>I'd say that being an under-represented minority will help you a lot and that you probably have a pretty good shot at all of those schools.</p>

4

<p>I wouldn't put Pton and Duke in the same category. Pton is a gazillion times harder than Duke to get into, then again Duke is really tough.</p>
