<p>Colgate: Match (I think, I don’t know much about this school)
UMD - College Park: Match
American: Match/Safety
Georgetown: Reach
UPenn - Wharton: Super reach (Wharton is the most difficult to get into)
George Washington: Match</p>

<p>Also, you mentioned that you plan to take your SAT ‘several’ times. I totally think you should take tons of practice tests but college counselors at my school and at many other schools in my state recommend that students don’t take the official SAT more than 3 times. </p>

<p>Also, I think you should apply early to Gtown if that is where you want to be. They do not have ED, but I think they have SCEA. It will improve your chances. If you choose to apply to Wharton I highly doubt you will be accepted, there are too many applicants that have as good if not better resumes. However, I do think you have a chance applying ED to the arts and sciences programs at Penn. It’s still a major reach, as it is for everyone. </p>

<p>Best of luck</p>
