<p>Maybe William and Mary, Boston College, GWU, Babson (matches/high matches)
Georgetown as a reach? (I know their business school is pretty good...)</p>

Northwestern--slight reach to reach
Michigan--match
Rutgers--safety to safe match
WUSL--reach
William and Mary--match to slight reach

<p>Your rank is going to really hurt unless you go to a top HS *(1350 plus average SAT). Maybe NYU CAS if you don't need $$.</p>
