<p>You’re application is pretty good, but nothing that stands out a ton. You might want to retake that ACT to raise it to help make up a bit where you don’t stand out a ton. Being a First Generation student and from low income family will help you out.</p>

<p>I am not very familiar with someones chances through QBridge. so I am just going to look at you applying to these schools without that aspect…so you chances my be higher there than what I say.</p>

<ol>
<li>Washington University in St. Louis(Early Decision) -low reach/match (the summer classes taken there might be looked upon favorably)</li>
<li>University of Michigan(Early)- low reach/match (raise that ACT by a point or two and I saw you are in)</li>
<li>University of Chicago (Early Action) - slight reach</li>
<li>New York University (RD) - reach/match</li>
<li>Georgetown(RD) -reach</li>
<li>UPENN (RD through QBridge) - reach</li>
<li>Wesleyan (RD through QBridge) - reach</li>
</ol>

<p>Hope that helps! Good luck!</p>
