<p>This is a hard one. The GPA hurts. But great SATs and TASP. Hard to guess, write great essays!</p>

3

<p>Which are the biggest reach(es)?
Is Stanford reasonable?</p>

4

<p>Stanford is probably your biggest reach. Even though they "don't count" freshman grades, they take a hard look at rank. Your rank is low, without a hook, for all the top schools.</p>

5

<p>are there any less selective schools that are like the ones I have listed? and... which one is probably my lowest reach?</p>

6

<p>Did you go to NFL or just quals?</p>

<p>What kind of awards have you gotten? Were they biggies like State/Regions or some smaller invitationals? Oh, and what did you write your essays about?</p>

<p>Lower reaches would be Emory and WashU. Have you considered Williams? There's not really a huge similarity between those schools you mentioned so do you mean "good" schools in general? Is there any particular major that you're looking for?</p>

7

<p>I went to Nationals in LD, and TOC LD so... nationally I guess. and USAMO is a national math competition so that too</p>

8

<p>The rank/GPA will hurt, but you did go to TASP and you have good SAT scores so I wouldn't get too discouraged.</p>

9

<p>Your EC's and test scores are amazing. I think you have a great chance.</p>

10

<p>So all colleges are realistic... I don't have any no chance in hell schools? That'd be semi-comforting. any other opinions.. please and any other lower reach schools that anyone would reccomend... or same reach schools :)</p>
