<p>I've tried grouping the schools as I see fit, but because my CR+M score isn't as impressive as my score out of 2400 it's been more difficult than normal. On top of that, I don't know that my ECs are enough. Below are how I'd evaluate my chances and my stats, but I really would like other's input so I'm not surprised and severely disappoint when letters come it.</p>
<p>Safety:
Washington State University</p>

Willamette University
St. Lawrence University
Skidmore College*</p>

<p>I'm especially unsure about the two asterisked. Additional info: I'll be visiting Seattle U & Willamette. Will interview with Willamette and, hopefully, Skidmore and Colorado (if alumni are available in my area). I'll be using the test flexible options for Colorado College (AP Chem. score, SAT W, and probably SAT II Math 2).</p>
