<p>U Penn - reach
UVA - reach
William and Mary - low reach
Harvard - high reach
Princeton - reach
Georgetown - reach
University of Michigan - match
Virginia Tech - safety</p>

<p>you have a good academic record, good test scores, and good ECs. and you are URM. that could get you into many of the schools on your list.</p>

<p>however, you don’t really have a strong hook, which could keep you out of Harvard, Princeton, and maybe even Penn.</p>

<p>^ I disagree. Nice Ec’s, strong sat scores, good gpa…urm status also helps.</p>

<p>U Penn-really good chances, but you never know
UVA- really good chances
William and Mary- really good chances
Harvard-reach(it is for everyone)
Princeton-reach (it is for everyone)
Georgetown- really good chances
University of Michigan- really good chances
Virginia Tech- really good chances</p>

<p>Did you get an ACT back today?</p>

<p>People had mixed results with dec, some were ruined by it while others got a lot higher than they thought (I was thinking 29-30 and got 32).</p>

</p>

<p>OP’s hook IS being a URM.</p>

<p>I’ll refrain from saying “duh.”</p>

Harvard - Medium Reach
Princeton - Medium Reach

<p>

i’ll refrain from pointing out your inability to read (oops, nvm). URM is not a strong hook. not for Harvard and Princeton.</p>

<p>i know a black student with a 2380 SAT, published scientific research, accomplished musician, who was rejected from Harvard. URM status is a bonus, but it is not a strong hook for this caliber of school.</p>

<p>Lulz at ^ (edit: ballin4ever) saying HP are “medium reaches.” HP are high reaches for even the most outstanding student.</p>

<p>And @ blu_h8torate (oops, must have hit h by accident!), you didn’t make it clear that you were talking about HP. You said UVA was a reach! The OP is in-state! Are you nuts?</p>
