<p>Yale and Brown are reaches, because those schools are reaches for just about anyone. Applying EA may help for Yale though. You have a great shot at the other schools—most likely will get in to all.</p>

3

<p>You can never be sure with places of that caliber, but I would say that you have as good a chance as any so long as your essays and recs are good</p>

<p>Thanks to both of you! I’m very realistic about my chances at Yale and Brown (very low) but I figure it’s always worth a shot. My essays are strong and my recs should be too. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Also for anyone else (if it makes a difference), I’m applying to Michigan and UVa EA as well.</p>

<p>I’d love to hear from more people if possible! :)</p>

<p>Buuuuuump (10 character req lol)</p>

<p>I’m with hopeful360 on Yale and Brown, and would say that Northwestern might be a low reach. Other than that, you look great. I also think that American is practically a safety.
Best of luck!!!</p>

<p>Yale+Brown: Reach. Because Ivys, even EA
Tufts: Low Reach
UVa: High match
Northwestern: Low reach/high match
Michigan: In
American: in</p>

<p>Those are my thoughts anyways, see how it all unwinds!
Good luck! Chance back, maybe?</p>
