any othERSS?? some good matcheS?</p>

<p>I think you have some decent matches right there. But I do wonder what your individual section scores for the SATs are (I'm assuming they're all fairly close to 700). If they're 800, 800, 500 (a little extreme) then it changes the story. I'd rather have a 2070 with 690 on all sections rather than a 2100 with what I just listed.</p>

<p>I take that back, you've got some pretty good matches: cost-effective top public schools (especially if in-state) and only the elite privates.</p>

<p>thanks - 690v, 690m, 720w
any other ones worth adding?</p>

<p>That looks like a solid list, you might want to include some LAC's as reaches or safeties. Amherst, Williams, Swat, Pomona are all possible reaches. Claremont Mckenna, Grinnell, Bowdoin, Colgate are matches. Reed, Scripps (if you're a girl), Bates, Colby are all safties.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon would be a good match/reach for you. Its in a city, which seems like a plus for you, and has a strong theater/arts program.</p>

<p>Good list. Did you try the ACT? Good SAT scores but a little extra could help a lot with those reaches. Many with your SAT scores take off with ACT</p>

<p>I'm guessing you're a resident of Maryland (because of U.Md.)? No JHU as well? Many who like NWern and Penn also apply to Cornell and Duke - similar pre-professional focus.</p>

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross, Colgate, and Bucknell all very good LAC's with school spirit.</p>
