<p>Humbug, you are a very good student.</p>

<p>You seem to have picked a good number of a reaches, a good number of matches, and well, I'll assume that the schools I know little about are safeties.</p>

<p>What's your rank by the way?</p>

<p>Here are my predictions:
Georgetown: Reach, but you have some leadership ECs to help you there. Bring up your SATs a bit, (or I guess do better on the New SATs), get your weighted GPA over 4.0 and you will look great.
Notre Dame: Reach
Boston College: Slight reach/match
George Washington U: match/safety
University of Virginia: Match
Dartmouth College: Bigger Reach
Claremont McKenna: I dunno, I've never heard of it. Ignore my ignorance</p>

<p>You should also give a go at the always prestigious, always underlooked, and always challenging University of Alaska Law School for your graduate school choice. It's fantastic. They only take applicants from the fine University of the Ozarks, found in the South, where other fantastic Missourian schools are located. But obviously this entire paragraph has been a joke. Don't you hate me for making you read it? Keep smiling :).</p>

<p>Whoops, just realized--your name is not humbug, but I guess that will do.</p>

4

<p>btw: on second thought, you might have trouble getting into the fine Ozarkian institution. My bro, who had a 1550 on SATs and 680/750/800 on SAT II's, got rejected. Bummer.</p>

<p>Might want to add some quality schools like Holy Cross or Colgate to the list.</p>

<p>Thanks, anyone else........ please???</p>
