<p>IMO- Applying to 20 colleges is way, way too much. I mean, the entire Ivy League and top LACs? That is a lot of work;they all have detailed applications a. I give her credit for finishing them all (and Im not being sarcastic about that. Im being dead serious). </p>
<p>She certainly has ECs and passion for them. That could say loads with strong essays and interviews.The biggest thing that I see are her test scores, the objective stuff.</p>
<p>Her standardized scores are no where near the 50% range for the Ivy League, or top LACs. She should try and retake both the SAT and ACT- she might be able to do better on one compared to the other. </p>
<p>Admissions at all top schools are very unpredictable, but this is what I say</p>
<p>Harvard- High Reach
Princeton- High Reach
Yale- High Reach
Brown- High Reach
Dartmouth- High Reach
Columbia- High Reach
Cornell- High Reach
UPenn- High Reach</p>
<p>Duke- High Reach
Notre Dame- High Reach
BC-Match
Tufts-Match
Georgetown- High Reach
Wellesley-High Match
Smith-High Match
Wesleyan-High Match</p>
<p>Middlebury-High Match
Williams- High Reach
Amherst- High Reach
Bates-High Match</p>
<p>Also, what I see that is dangerous about this list is there really is no Safety school. She should really try and apply to a safety that has rolling admissions so she is at least guaranteed something. </p>
<p>I wish her the best of luck, and I am intrigued to see the results. </p>

<p>Edit- I agree with Keasbey Nights, he or she makes a very valid point.</p>
