<p>I don’t know much about some of the schools on your list but I’ve categorized the ones I’m familiar with:
REACH: Brown, Amherst, Penn, Tufts, Georgetown, UVa (unless you’re in state)
HIGH MATCH: Colgate, Lehigh
MATCH: Northeastern</p>

<p>Are you going to be looking to be an athlete at any of these schools? That could give you a boost pretty much everywhere. It would also help if you were captain of soccer and track this year, as well as president of French club.
If you could knock your SAT up a bit–even 50 points would make a difference–that would help as well, of course. </p>

<p>Good luck. Please chance me back if you get the opportunity!</p>
