Your course rigor, GPA, and test scores are good, maybe not on par with some of these schools but I wouldn’t discount you either. NYU, USC, and Wellesley are low-mid reaches and UWS and Tulane are matches. All the best to you!

Stats are on par with NYU (if CAS, Tandon, or Gallatin) but too low for Stern. EC’s may hurt you though.
