<p>You didn't mention if you were in-state or out. If you are in-state, then I think you have an excellent chance for RU (nothing is 100%). Your SATs are pretty much average for RU and you have excellent ECs and GPA. I would consider you a MATCH. You can maximize your odds if you go ED. If you are out of state then you will face stiffer competition but still stand a good chance. As for other school like RU you could consider Penn State, Uconn, Umass, SUNY Binghampton. But you need to give more info on what is important to you about schools. What is attractive about RU? LAC vs research Uinversity?, state vs private, location, majors of interest, career known?
