<p>Columbia and Harvard are the only ones that I imagine you having a hard time getting into, but uchicago and brown may be a problem because of your scores. your scores are great but they reject people with perfect scores too.</p>

<p>Your SATs aren’t bad. You have a good chance at all of your high reach schools. Georgetown and Brown should be considered high reach too, though. Better chance at Georgetown but Brown is just as finicky as Columbia and Harvard with qualified candidates like you. It’s never a sure thing. UChicago actually has basically the same acceptance rate as Brown with fewer applications. </p>
