<p>dartmouth, williams, bowdoin and middlebury are reaches (arent they for everyone?) but i think you have an awesome chance there, ur SATs are swesome, boost your ECs, u have awards but u didnt do things in terms of hours expended.</p>

<p>Williams would be a very strange choice for studying French and Spanish - there are at least 50 colleges that are better.</p>

4

<p>Your SAT's are fine for most of those schools, though if you are absolutely convinced you could go higher, then it wouldn't hurt, especially at Dartmouth and Swarthmore.</p>
