<p>Hi,
i'll be quick and just give you my stats</p>

<p>SAT; 1990 (single sitting)
GPA; 3.8
great ECs (and lots of them)
essays will be great </p>

<p>I came up with a general list of colleges I think i'll apply to and I'm worried that I'm being too ambitious or unreasonable. I understand that some of these are reaches, but I don't want too many to be so. </p>

<p>Here's what I'm thinking of doing:
Early Action: Villanova, northeastern, Boston college, and University of Michigan
Regular Decision:lehigh, lafayette, colby, bates, carleton (reach, i know) and the UCs (I live in california), CU boulder (safety), drexel (safety), and syracuse (safety) </p>

<p>please be honest if you think that I'm applying to too many colleges that may seem too competitive for me. I know I gave only a few stats but generally speaking, is my list ok?</p>

<p>What is you home state? If you are in Michigan, Umich may be a high match for you.</p>

<p>Yes, OP’s GPA is at 50% (slightly below) while SAT1 is slightly above 25% for LSA. If he is in state, he should be a high match, otherwise, it would be a reach.</p>
