<p>Your stats look great thus far. Barnard and Vassar are reaches, but only because they’ve had ridiculously high amounts of applicants. Vassar will also be a reach because you are a girl and they’ve (over the past few years) been trying to get the genders equaled out (so men have higher admission rates).</p>

<p>All of the rest, I would say, are matches.</p>

<p>Oh, and even though they are your strong points, interviews don’t really help or hurt you. I about this recently. (Though they are starting to use interviewers as well as essays to figure out if you are a psychological risk.)</p>

<p>1000Bpm</p>

<p>Really? I always thought that interviews never really hurt you that much (unless you’re a psycho) but could always boost your chances slightly…</p>

<p>Chances same as 1000Bpm, except most likely acceptance from GW.</p>
