<p>Chance me for these schools? I know I have to cut in down by a good amount, so I'm hoping that this will help me.</p>

<p>Schools:
Emory
Georgia Tech (legacy)
Elon
Wake Forest
Duke
UVA (in state)
University of Richmond
Boston College
Tufts
American University
Fordham
Brown
Tulane
Vanderbilt
Yale</p>

<p>Stats:
Classes:
-8th grade: Algebra 1 HN (A), Spanish 1 (A)
-Freshman year: World History 1 HN (A), Biology HN (B+), English 9 HN (A), Geometry HN (A-), Art (A), Gym (A), Spanish 2 (A)
-Sophomore year: AP World History (A), Chemistry HN (A-), English 10 HN (A), Algebra 2 HN (A-), Fashion Marketing (A), Gym (A), Spanish 3 (A-)

-Senior year (classes I have signed up for): AP Comp Gov, AP Lit, AP Calc BC, AP Environmental Science, AP Spanish, SGA, Applied History (unique class to my school)
My weighted GPA is 4.3 and unweighted is 3.92. We don't do class ranks but I think I would probably be in at least the top 10% of my class.</p>

<p>ACT: 32 (I've taken the SAT, but my ACT is much better)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-Girl Scouts since I was 5. I've earned my Bronze and Silver Awards and I am currently working on my Gold Award (making an educational booklet for Mount Vernon).
-Competitive Dance (think 15-20 hours a week, 6 days a week) since I was 4.
-I played field hockey in 9th and 10th grade but had to stop because of an ACL injury
-Math League 10th grade
-DECA 10th grade
-I joined Key Club, History Honor Society, National Honor Society, Student Government, and Model UN (I'm vice president) this year.
-I will be on Student Advisory Council next year (rep for my school's SGA in the county and with the school board)</p>

<p>Other:
-I won first place at the school, regional, and state level for National History Day
-I was a Girl Scout Congressional Aide last summer (a mini internship at a congressman's office)
-This summer I am going on a Girl Scout service trip to Costa Rica</p>

<p>I would ideally like to double major in Economics and International Relations in college. Thanks for any help! :)</p>

<p>I definitely think that your list is realistic! You have a good mixture of safeties, matches, and reaches on your list and you should definitely have a strong chance at nearly all of the colleges you listed (except Ivy Leagues & maybe Vanderbilt because they’re so selective). However, if you’re really interested in one of the Ivy’s, definitely consider applying Early Decision. I’d also try to raise your ACT/SAT scores to around 33-34 and 2100-2250 to maximize your chances. But overrall you should have a great chance at nearly all of the schools! </p>

<p>Reaches: Yale, Brown, Vanderbilt, Duke</p>

<p>Most of the others I think are matches</p>

<p>Emory: high match/low reach
Georgia Tech (legacy): match
Elon: safety
Wake Forest: match
Duke: high match
UVA (in state): high match
University of Richmond: match
Boston College: match
Tufts: high match
American University: match
Fordham: safety
Brown: reach
Tulane: match
Vanderbilt: high match
Yale: reach</p>

<p>But then again, Ivy Leagues are reaches for everyone. :(</p>

<p>Your grades and ECs are very good, so it definitely won’t hurt! Like @castle027‌ said, raising your test scores would help your chances a lot. Good luck!</p>
