<p>Your GPA is not that low and your stats not that high. I would retake the ACT to improve it which might give you a shot at your reaches. </p>

<p>I think you have a good chance for Wisconsin. Since you’re not in the reciprocity zone for them, it might be more difficult, but there are two essay segments that could possibly sway your chances. I don’t really know about the rest, though, sorry!</p>

<p>Ok thanks to both of you.</p>

<p>I would say CMU and Georgetown are probably reaches as well simply because they have such low acceptance rates, but it ultimately depends on your major.</p>

<p>You have a great shot at most of these and a pretty decent shot at the reaches. Good luck!</p>
