<p>It’s been a while since you posted this, but here you go. I can only help you with the following:
UNC - good chance (if your in state) if not, then it may be closer to a reach.<br>
Duke - That’s going to be a high reach
Princeton - Same as Duke if not higher
As for the Robertson Scholarship, that may be difficult. If you read the bios of the winners from last year there is a reoccuring trend. They (almost) all have created some organization that helps others. For instance, I’m shooting for it next year. I’ve created a jazz ensemble that raises money to supply clean water to villages in sub-saharen Africa. I’ve also created my church’s youth musical group. I also led a venture to build a fence around my church’s playground as my eagle project. This coupled with leadership in 5 clubs/organizations only makes me competitive (it’s not a clinch). Fortunately it is a leadership based scholarship. </p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck at all of these things.</p>
