<p>Georgetown SFS: Low Reach
Cornell CALS (Bio. & Society): Low Reach
Carnegie Mellon H&SS: Match
NYU CAS: Match
Boston University CAS/CGS: Match
Oxford College at Emory: Low Match/Safety
Wash. U @ St. Louis: Medium Reach
Dartmouth: Big Reach</p>

<p>My guess is that you get accepted at Oxford, and either at Carnegie Mellon, NYU, or Boston U, most likely Boston. The rest are unlikely, though the recommendation from the Prof at Georgetown might help you there.</p>

<p>Thanks, any others?</p>
