<p>Your curriculum and GPA are great, but your ACT scores need to go up for a fair amount of these schools. That said…</p>

<p>Georgetown - low reach
John Hopkins - low reach
Wash U - low reach
Vanderbilt - match
Rice - match
Cornell - low reach
USC - safety
NYU - match
Emory - match</p>

<p>I do think you could get financial aid, but I don’t know how much. Also, how were you the captain of the first public swimming team when my school has had a swimming team for at least ten years.</p>

<p>regarding your question – weird i know. green bay public schools have never had a mens swim team until last year; however, a girls team has been present for decades.</p>

<p>GPA and courseload is good, ECs and rank are decent. ACT does need to improve a bit, and hopefully your SAT IIs are quite high as well.</p>

<p>Georgetown - low reach
JHU - reach
WUSTL - high match
Vandy - match
Rice - high match
Cornell - reach
USC - low match
NYU - match
Emory - match</p>

U of Chicago-reach

<p>you’ve got a pretty good shot at all of these schools, with Cornell and JHU being the least likely IMO. </p>

JHU - slight reach

<p>Financial aid is a crapshoot, you really can’t predict anything. The only thing I can predict is you won’t get much from NYU.</p>
