Chance Me / Match Me!

Hey there! I know these posts are abundant, but I would really appreciate it if someone could guess my chances for the following colleges:
University of Richmond
Portland State University
Lewis and Clark College
Willamette University
NYU
Reed College
University of Oregon
University of Portland
Concordia University
Washington University in St. Louis

I just got out of my junior year in high school. So far, my stats are:
3.93 UW GPA
1380 SAT (I’ve only taken it once; will take it again) with a 6-6-6 essay
I’ve only taken one AP class (APUSH - sophomore year - no other APs were available for me before sophomore year), but this year I’ve been taking classes at a local community college instead of at my high school, through a dual enrollment program.
I’ve taken all the most challenging courses available to me at my high school (honors).
As I stated in the title, my extra curriculars are rather scarce. I was in the orchestra freshman & sophomore year (idk if this counts because it’s a class, so I think it’s just considered an elective). I’ve been a member of the National Honor Society since my sophomore year. Also, this year I joined a club, but it doesn’t offer any leadership roles because it’s new & pretty unknown.

Given my semi-decent stats and lack of ECs, do you think I have a chance at any of these schools? I’d like to know if I’m aiming too high. Thank you!

Whoops! I forgot to mention - I got a 4 on my APUSH test, and my rank is 28 out of 350 in my class.

Your stats are good enough that ECs shouldn’t matter.

Your SAT score is pretty low for Wash U, and your lack of ECs will be of concern for Wash U and probably NYU as well. If you spend this summer ramping up your involvement in ECs related to your intended major, and perhaps retake the SAT to get at least 1450, I would say you have a decent shot at most of these schools (Wash U is still a bit of a reach though). Good luck! I would appreciate it if you could chance me back here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1995754-chance-me-low-gpa-rank-cornell-rice-wash-u-ucla-etc-p1.html

Retake SAT

I agree with @Muad_dib. I think that your stats are great, and that you have both safeties and reaches on your list. I don’t know if you will get into all of them, but you have a good list of places to apply and I am confident that you will get into several and probably most of the schools on your list.

You should do some SAT preparation before retaking the SAT. Run the NPC over your list of schools and make sure that your finances (which probably means your parents) are fine with the result. Do well in school next year and don’t worry. It looks like you are doing very well.
