Wake Forest (ED): idk
Emory (ED II): Reach
Tufts: Reach
Cornell Human Ecology: Reach (why human ecology? Are you doing PAM? Probably a better match for Arts and Science econ, no? Maybe ILR? or if you want to do business, CALS AEM?)

Georgetown McDonough: idk
Boston College Carroll: idk
University of Rochester: Low Match
University of Richmond: idk
Villanova School of Business (EA): idk
Indiana Kelley: Low Match/Safety
Penn State Smeal: Match

I’d retake your ACT, if you can get a 32/33, your chances will increase exponentially for all of these schools.
