I really have to disagree. Vanderbilt and Haverford are much much more challenging schools than Lehigh, NYU, UPITT, and penn State. Harvardbound you really have it backwards. I would say Vanderbilt: reach, Haverford (reach), Lehigh (Match), NYU (Match), Upitt (match/safety), Penn state (safety).

From your list of schools, it seems that you’re a PA resident. Is that correct?

If so, I’d disagree with the poster above. You’d probably have a really good shot at places like Pitt and Penn State. A 3.5 UW won’t hurt you as much as it would if you were applying OOS. I’d say that Haverford is a reach; truthfully, I don’t know much about the others on your list.

Good luck!
