<p>Wrightm: I do not predict chances, but this is a scary list. You have no safety schools, and no real matches, either. You’ve got a bunch of reaches, and you can’t count on raising your ACT by 3 points. That’s a really big jump. </p>
<p>Please, go to the College Board website to see admissions rates and average stats for admitted students at schools on your list and get a ballpark idea of your chances of admission. Tufts and JHU, which you list as safeties, admitted just 27% of applicants in the last reported year (probably the 2008-09 cycle). That means they rejected roughly 3/4 of applicants. They are safety schools for no one. For tippy-top applicants, they might be matches, but not comfortable ones. You need to add some schools. </p>
<p>It looks like your focus is research universities. Why is Wisconsin, your state flagship and a great school, not on your list as a safety?</p>
