Good ECs (strong leadership)
Good essay

what kind of a school would be too much of a reach and pointless to apply to/ what would be good ones?

You’re going to have to give more details…You trying to stay in state (wherever that is) or are you down to move around? I will say this, your stats are good enough to open a good amount of doors. No ivies or anything mega selective but most places you’ll have a good shot.

I’m trying to stay in New England the mid-Atlantic or Chicago regions

So are u saying I shouldn’t apply to any ivies or are u saying there reaches?

The Ivies would typically want another 100 points on the SAT and/or 1-2 points on the ACT even for a hooked applicant (legacy/URM/first gen etc). Those are probably out of reach, especially with a below-average GPA.

The difference between your UW and wGPA is very slight. Have you taken any AP courses?

I have taken 6 AP classes and 9 honors classes
My school doesn’t weight heavily its 0.3 for honors and 0.4 for AP
Idk why it’s a private school though

Are you male or female? Ethnic background?

Your course rigor is fine for most schools, albeit slightly below average for the Ivies.

Apply to one as a high reach if you’re really in love, but look at schools which more closely match your qualifications. Off the top of my head, a couple of high matches/low reaches in the regions you’re interested in would be NYU (excluding the Stern school of business) or Northeastern. Other schools to look at include BU/BC or Tufts as a mid reach.
