<p>It might be a reach to get into Duke, Georgetown, or UPenn because of the SAT scores, but your ACT is high and you have good grades and tons of community service/extracurriculars, so you still have a high chance. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Thank you very much ak12654! I will probably be sending just my ACT scores to these colleges. By the way, I will also have awesome teacher recs and very good essays as well. If you chance me, I will chance you back as well if you just provide a link to your thread.</p>

<p>You have a lot of prestigious colleges on your list! Submitting just the ACT is probably a good idea as its the better of the two scores. You have very strong EC's and its good to see that you are well-rounded.</p>

<p>As for the schools:
Duke- high match
Georgetown- high match
UPenn- reach
Notre Dame- probably in
Boston College (Early Action)- in
Wake Forest- in
Virginia (Jefferson Scholar Nominee)- in
William and Mary- in
Miami of Ohio- in</p>

<p>Chance back?
