<p>Overall it looks like you've taken advantage of what your school has to offer as far as classes and EC's go. You've got pretty good grade and test scores, as well. I think your list break-down will look a bit like this:</p>

<p>Reaches:
Air Force
Notre Dame
Washington and Lee</p>

<p>Matches:
BC (although this may fall on the border bet. Reach and Match)
Wake Forest
Richmond
Holy Cross</p>

<p>Safeties:
Villanova
Skidmore (depending on its policy on legacies/family member associations)</p>

<p>I'm no guidance expert...but your list seems pretty balanced to me. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Agree, Notre Dame is a reach, but Holy Cross with its accounting/econn program is very strong.</p>
