<p>I think the updated list looks great. Four reaches (Brown, Cornell, Yale, Penn), four in the match range (JHU, NYU, Northwestern, Michigan), and two safeties (TCNJ, Rutgers). Nicely done.</p>
<p>The list looks good. Other than your two safeties, it’s impossible to predict whether you’re a reach or a match. Without the ACT score, the GPA would make all 8 of these schools big reaches. They may look at the GPA as a sign that you come from a challenging high school or they may look at it as a sign that you are a bright kid who does not work hard at school.</p>
