<p>I think you have an excellent chance at any of these. You’ll definitely get into NYU, Barnard, and Bryn Mawr. You also have a very decent chance at getting into Swarthmore and Wesleyan. Don’t know about the others. Your ECs and summer activities are more than strong, and so are your ACT and AP scores, not to mention the fact that you’ve done 300+ volunteer hours, plus some more in India! All in all, you seem to be the epitome of a well rounded student… Just write some excellent essays. Good luck, although I don’t think you need it!</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>Swarthmore - high match/reach
Barnard - match
Tufts - match
Wesleyan - match
Northwestern - reach
Bryn Mawr - safety
NYU - low match
W&M - match</p>

<p>…Honestly, the only reason Northwestern and Swarthmore are even reaches in my mind is because of the GPA thing. Your standardized test scores are on par for any number of elite schools, and your ECs are fantastic. In fact, I would even venture to say you’re selling yourself short a little. </p>

<p>Also, no one will understand this on this thread, but since I decided to poke around in your history like a creeper after your eloquent vindication of my position on the Barnard board: screw davidmarne. Any of these schools would be lucky to have you.</p>
