The colleges I am planning to apply to in the RD round are as follows:

<p>Here are my stats</p>

GPA: 3.6 unweighted, upward trend, and I do go to a school consistently ranked in the top 100 in the nation. School does not weight GPA or rank

APs: I have 4s on: Lang, US history, and Psych. I have 3s on Chem and Euro History
Senior Year course load: AP Environmental, AP Bio, AP Calc AB, AP Lit, AP Econ (Macro+Micro)
ECs: I have alot of quality extracurriculars that I have been doing for a long time and that show that I have ambition and am well rounded, ect. Also do sports and have a job
Awards: AP Scholar with Distinction
Teacher Recs: I think they were pretty good, both from teachers I have had for 2 years
Counselor Rec: I didn't see it but I'm pretty sure its good.</p>

<p>You certainly have a strong application. The only question is to what extent will these colleges compensate for going to a top 100 high school (nationally)? If they compensate significantly, that could hurt you, in which case I would say, based on what info you’ve given, that: Northwestern, John Hopkins, WashU are reaches, Carnegie and Vandy are low reaches, BC Emory and w&M are high matches, Colgate a match/low match, and Lehigh a safety. But I’m not an expert and it’s hard to say. </p>
