Chances at UChicago, Tufts, and Boston College

<p>First time posting on CC for me, but I've been reading it for a couple months now. With getting my new SAT scores back, I felt motivated to realistically see my chances to get into schools. Feel free to tell me if i'm just a delusional jackass too.(I'll do my best not to put some boring, tedious stuff on here.) I go to a small, but competetive private school in the south.</p>

<p>GPA- Upward Grade Trend (unweighted)
9th- 3.34 (all honors)
10th- 3.65 (all honors and ap)
11th(so far)- 3.86(all honors and ap)</p>

<p>around 3.89 or so weighted </p>

<p>High school doesn't release rank, but suspect around 10%</p>

<p>New Sat

660-verbal(gah, i still don't know what prosaic means)

Tufts University</p>

<p>My guess is that i'm middle of the road candidate. Not particuraly outstanding, but alright. I'd appreciate some match/reach analysis.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Boston College: Match/Reach (they were really unpredictable this year)
Notre Dame: Match/Reach
Vanderbilt: Reach
UChicago: Reach
Northwestern: Reach
Boston University: Safety
Wash U: Reach
St. Louis U: Safety
Tufts University: Match/Reach</p>

<p>also, i'm catholic, if that helps admission at jesuit colleges at all....</p>

<p>any other analysis as to where I may be lacking? i really appreciate it</p>

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross-very good Jesuit SCHOOL 1 HOUR FROM Boston. From academic perspective, Gtown best Jesuit school followed by HC. Boston College was a commuter school until 25-30 years ago. Much stronger alumni networks at Holy Cross and Georgetown.</p>
