<p>I think for all the honors colleges you’re set, and I think for Duke and Notre Dame you will be fine. However my best friend is applying to Vanderbilt ED, and he has a higher GPA and higher test scores (no offence), and he’s not sure about getting in there. And then Dartmouth will be tough, like any Ivy is. However, your ACT score is KILLER, you’ve got amazing EC’s, and your classes look fantastically rigorous. I would say your best bet is Duke, however depending on your major, schools like Dartmouth might be quicker to accept you. Hope I could help! And chance back! (:</p>

<p>Duke then Dartmouth are the 2 best schools and perhaps hardest to get into. Might try a match school like Holy Cross-top LAC 1 hour from Boston. HC is a smaller version of ND BUT EASIER to get into. Holy Cross has fantastic alumni network for jobs, and the school meets 100% DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL AID.</p>

<p>I think you will get into all of them except Dartmouth and Duke will be a little harder.</p>
