Brown seems like a reach, but definitely not out of the question. I would say you have a pretty good chance at Bowdoin and Tufts. Colby seems fairly safe. I don’t really know anything about Bates, Brandeis, and Wellesley.

Chance me back? :slight_smile:

(Except could you chance me for Brown instead of Columbia?)

I think you can get into all those schools (only your lack of APs and rather light ECs may be of some concern to Brown)
