<p>cornell-high match
hopkins-in
princeton-reach, but its a reach for everybody</p>

<p>I think that your sat2s aren’t as good as they could be, but the real weak point in your application is that I can’t tell who you are. You seem to have a laundry list of every single discipline (positions in writing, science, foreign language, etc). While this is definitely good, you lack a clear focus and this may actually end up hurting you. I hope for your sake it doesn’t, and good luck.</p>

<p>Whether you get into these colleges might depend on whether the commonapp provides enough room for your ec’s. </p>

<p>But I think you’re in everywhere, with Penn a low reach and Princeton a reach. Great EC’s, I don’t know how you found the time. </p>

<p>-Amherst=
-Cornell = reach, but only slightly. and i only say its a reach because its an ivy. but u have a very good chance!
-Georgetown= match/reach
-Haverford=match? maybe slight reach
-Johns Hopkins= match/reach
-Princeton= see cornell
