<p>You have a solid chance at NYU and boston college, but The university of Chicago is definitely a reach. It’s great that you have so many ecs related to the one field that you are looking to study, but there seems to be a lack of leadership roles (besides editor and chief of school newspaper). Also I think your ecs overall are fine but if you want, you can broaden the types of ecs (ie debate) to show colleges that you have considered other possible alternatives. </p>

<p>Also, add GWU to the list! Hope I helped :)</p>

<p>Thank you so much! We actually have a debate team at my school so I will definitely look into that.</p>

<p>Bu uconn American- match
NYU- low reach
U of Chicago- reach</p>

6

<p>might add some LAC’s like Holy Cross or Bowdoin. Holy Cross has great English program and nice campus 1 hour from Boston.</p>

<p>Pretty much all those schools seem like a reasonable chance of getting in, except for UChicago, which is a reach. UChicago is definitely very competitive, and like stated above, the lack of leadership and/or variety in ECs may hurt you.</p>
