<p>Overall, I would say that you look like you have a shot for most (if not all) of your schools. Your GPA and class rank are both solid: for a couple of your more selective schools they could be better, but they're within the ballpark. Same goes for your standardized test scores... they're fine for most of your schools, but a bit low for Vassar and Wesleyan. Your extracurriculars look solidly good as well: if you're interested in track and/or cross country, be sure to contact the coaches at your respective schools, because that could give your application a bit of a boost.</p>

<p>Grinnell College... SEMI-REACH.
Lewis & Clark College... GOOD FIT.
Macalester College... SEMI-REACH.
University of Portland... LIKELY.
Vassar College... REACH.
Wesleyan University... REACH.</p>

<p>A little update, I have as of today been accepted also at Lewis & Clark and the University of Portland. I still have yet to complete my Vassar and Macalester applications and I really liked my Grinnell short answers. And to be honest, i'm not feeling so great at my chances at Wesleyan.</p>

<p>Oh, and I have no intentions of running in college. I'm even considering not running Track in the Spring...</p>
