<p>Dartmouth (ED) -w/o ED, high reach but w/ it I don't know
Notre Dame -slight reach
Brown-high reach
Cornell-reach
Williams-slight reach</p>
<p>Your a URM. That is key. Make sure to exploit that. Your rank could hurt you.
Your schools are all so different and inconsistent. You have Dartmouth and Williams which are more like LAC's and then you have Brown, which is on one end of the political spectrum and Notre Dame on the other. Cornell is a huge university and is an opposite to Dartmouth and Williams. Are you just going for prestige or schools where your URM will help in admissions the most. If it is the latter I would take off Brown and add some less diverse LAC's.</p>
<p>Now for me:
Schools- Fordham, Lehigh, College of the Holy Cross, Colgate, Williams, Brown, Bowdoin, Bates, Wesleyan
High School- Less competitive public
Test scores- 600M 750CR 740W (1350,2090)
Lit and USH- 700 in both
GPA- 3.7 UW, 10 out of 250
EC's- Many Leadership Positions, Class President for 4 years, Started a business, 2 Varsity Sports and Captain in Both,
State Award, National Competitor FBLA
I'm also caucasian/upper middle class.</p>
