<p>I think you have a decent shot at all the schools. </p>

<p>GW is a crap shoot- I know someone who got into Brown but rejected from GW. </p>

<p>Kenyon and Oberlin are matches, maybe slight reaches due to the increased applicant pools this year. </p>

<p>American is definitely a match. You fall in the top for your ACT scores and you fit for your GPA plus you are involved.</p>

<p>That doesn’t surprise me. I think a lot of schools don’t want their matriculation percentages to look low, so they only accept people they think have a good chance of actually coming to that school. </p>

<p>Any other takers for me?</p>

<p>Can I get a bump?</p>
