I think it’s a reach – but I think you can make it. Your hooks and SAT score definately help. Don’t know too much about your school, but you don’t seem to have that rigorous of a schedule. If your school doesn’t offer hard courses, I guess that’s fine. Do people from your school tend to go to Ivy league schools?

Not a reach its a match

I applied with a set of stats that was very similar to yours and got in. What school/major are you considering? I’d love to talk with you if you’d be interested in sending in me a message.

The reason as to why i think its a reach is because i would like to major in business
