VERY competitive public school in NY.... A few years ago, Cornell accepted 40!

I really am not sure if this counts but I have battled OCD all of my life. I wrote my commonapp essay about how I turned it into a positive experience.
Essays
Everyone I've showed my ca and supplement to has loved them. I'm quite happy with them.
Recs
Also quite good (I assume) My guidance counselor gushed about me too
What else?
I visited and loved it, so I showed interest.
Anyway, thanks to all who read this! We're all in this process together and it means a lot to know that people look out for each other.</p>
<p>Other colleges (if you could chance me for those too)
GW
BU
Binghamton
Syracuse Newhouse
American
Brandeis

<p>Cornell reach
GW high match
(You should get into the rest)
BU match
Bing match
Syracuse match
American match
Brandeis high match
Maryland match
Case western they are a bit picky but you are qualified </p>
<p>Being a founder of a school club really sets you apart, plus your experience with OCD. I think you have a high chance of getting into all the schools you are applying for accept Cornell (due to the fact that it is extremely competitive) All and all though the rest seem to be very likely for you. </p>
<p>Cornell ILR: match; as well as GW, Brandeis, CWRU. American is a quasi safety, as well as UMD, Bing is a safety, Syracuse Newhouse is probably a match but it’s very competitive compared to Syracuse itself.
What’s your parents’ budget and have you run the Net Price Calculator for each of these schools?</p>
<p>Run the Net Price Calculator on each website (each school calculates differently so you really have to do it for each). You can just type the name of the college followed by NPC :), then enter your data.</p>
<p>I would say that it is a reach, but there is definitely a shot of you getting in. Your GPA is a bit low, and your SAT is on mark. So if everything is good, you have a shot. Your in state status may also help since IRL is one of the state-associated program</p>
