Thanks in advance for your responses!

Illinois,Wisconsin, and Marquette: quite likely.
Notre Dame: quite possibly.
Washington: maybe.
Princeton: probably not, but ya never know.
Don’t know enough about the other two to say much.

You’ll get into Marquette, Wisconsin, and Illinois. I think you have a 50/50 shot at ND. Princeton is a reach, Washington is a little more likely, but still a reach. Don’t know much about Santa Clara

First, congratulations on doing well throughout high school. No matter what this forum might make seem, you are far above average and should take pride in your accomplishments.

Princeton Univ. - Reach
Washington Univ. (St. Louis) - Low Reach
Georgetown Univ. - Low Reach
Univ. of Notre Dame - High Match
Illinois (In-State) - Match
Wisconsin - Safety
Santa Clara - High Safety/Low Match

Low for Princeton and Georgetown, solid for the rest. Imo at least.

Please chance me back.

Thanks. And I’ll do that right now @dehca2016

might take a look at Holy Cross in Massachusetts-imo much better than Marquette or Santa Clara.

No, just general knowledge, and reference websites. @santaclara

The way I see it you seem like a reach for princeton, washington, and georgetown solely due to your act score. Your other colleges seem like a match if not safety.

Univ. of Notre Dame - high match

Your ACT is not bad at all, but it isn’t enough to give you a major chance at the top of your list. You have neat and diverse ECs!
However, you are missing SAT IIs (or at least on this page). Georgetown and Princeton both strongly recommend scores, and not having them will disadvantage you even more.
I wish you the best of luck this fall! You will definitely get into at least one of your non-safe schools :slight_smile:

Do you mind chancing back?
