<p>You have really good GPA and Test Scores, along with good EC. Duke and Chicago are probably still in the reach range, while Emory is probably a high match</p>

<p>^ I’d call Emory a solid match with those ECs and brilliant scores. Duke I’d say is a low reach because you’re applying Early Decision - Chicago I’d still say is a Reach.</p>
