<p>GTown - match
Cornell - high match</p>

3

<p>More like low reach</p>

4

<p>Georgetown’s a match, Cornell’s a reach. Maybe a low reach. You have the stats, but the ivies are crapshoots because of the sheer number of apps they get.</p>

5

<p>Wouldn’t say Georgetown is a match. Reachable, but a reach nonetheless. I know people with your stats who were admitted (in 2012) and denied (this year). Good luck!</p>

6

<p>bump…</p>

7

<p>Wow, Georgetown’s more selective than I thought, I just looked it up. Definitely low reach.</p>

8

<p>Georgetown: Low Reach
Cornell: Low Reach</p>

<p>You are in both colleges respective ranges, so it really will come down to how good your essays are. But fear not, I’d guess that you’d get into one of them. Your extracurriculars, however, aren’t that good. Still, writing good essays could compensate for that.</p>
