<p>Essays will be pretty important. Academically-speaking, you’re pretty much qualified for every school on your list. ECs are fairly common though, so that’s why essays will be so important. Also, retake ACT or SAT for some better chances. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Georgetown- Early Action-high match/low reach
Brown-mid reach
Duke-low/mid reach
Northwestern-low reach
University of Pennsylvania-mid reach</p>

<p>essays and teacher recs are going to be important for you. your ecs are good, but since you are from an affluent background, your gpa is pretty average for these schools. of course, they are hard for anyone to get into.
you have good sat iis, so that should help.
good luck :)</p>
