<p>Academics are so-so. Your class rank/gpa is good, yet ACT is not good for your top choices. So your gpa/class rank may be taken with a grain of salt. Hopefully you took the most rigorous course load possible. Other than your student body vice-presidency, which shows leadership, ECs are weak for your top choices. You’re in everywhere except Georgetown, BC, Georgetown, Brown and Cornell. Brown and Cornell are super high reaches. Maybe not cornell as much, but Brown. BC is a low reach with Georgetown being a mid reach. Good luck, and work on those essays.</p>
<p>@DBlazer ACT’s at BC are between a 29 - 32. He’s within the range. If anything he’s a match for BC.</p>
<p>Georgetown is a low reach and Cornell and Brown are reaches. Your class rank and GPA, contrary to what dblazer said, probably won’t be taken as a grain of salt at those schools.</p>
<p>no Villanova for NovaNation?</p>
<p>I would love to apply to Villanova. In fact I was going too and then changed my mind just yesterday. The only trouble is that villanova is so expensive and their financial aid/merit scholarships are stringent. I don’t know if I will receive enough financial assistance to make attendance at Nova a reality.</p>
<p>Re-take your ACT. Your EC’s are sort of week for your top choices, but if your shoot for 34+ then you have a chance at one of Brown, Cornell, Georgetown.</p>
