I’m not going to chance you for the colleges you aren’t sending your ACT to because I truly have no idea how that works.

Colby College: Reach
Kenyon College: Reach
McGill: Canadian university which has different requirements for each field of study, too hard to chance but I would say high reach
Middlebury College: High reach
Richmond: Low reach
Tulane: Low reach
W&M: Low reach

I would really suggest retaking the ACT or trying the SAT if possible. It cant hurt to try it again or something different.

Middlebury is definitely a reach, but not unrealistic, and Id say colby is a low reach.

Have you ever considered BU? I think it might be a good match for you.

Good job on taking advantage of test-optional schools. I second the idea of retaking the ACT for your other schools.

Bowdoin is a reach for everyone. The other test-optionals should be low match/safeties.

Mainly because of your test score, I agree with the first chance above.

Good luck!

I agree, BU would fit you real well. Wonderful school, wonderful resources, wonderful city. Sources: I lived in boston 7 years and my brother goes to BU. But Middlebury, Bowdoin, and Colny are definitely reaches.

Also defintely try and get a tutor or something for the ACT and take it again
