<p>I’m gonna be honest: Every one of those schools is a crapshoot. You need a safety school. Out of those schools, Hopkins is the closest thing to a safety, but in reality, you can never be certain of admission to somewhere like JHU. </p>

<p>Brown ED - Match
JHU - Match
Georgetown - Low Reach
Cornell - High Match
UPenn - Reach
Harvard - High Reach
Yale - High Reach
Williams - High Match
Amherst - High Match
Brown PLME - Not enough knowledge</p>

<p>Take all of that with a grain of salt. I think you stand a good chance of getting into all of those schools bar Harvard and Yale, which are beyond ridiculous in terms of admissions (but still marginally doable). That said, a true safety is always necessary.</p>
