<p>I think your reaches are very realistic. Your GPA is decent, you go to a great school, your ECs are stellar. If you could get your SATs up to about 2100 I would say those would all be matches and to consider some more selective schools. I believe you will at least get into a few of thsoe schools.</p>

4

<p>which do u think</p>

5

<p>Well, I dont know what you are looking for in a college exactly. But, I would look at colleges in the low 20% acceptance range. Maybe hint me in on what you are looking for?</p>

6

<p>I agree. All those schools are matches/borderline safeties.</p>

7

8

<p>any other opinions bout the schools i listed?</p>

<p>Notre Dame and Emory as borderline safeties? I really dont think so, sorry. Man, Notre Dame is really underated on these bords. </p>

<p>I was kind of addicted to this thing last year, so i thought i would give my 2 cents on what i learned through the admissions process. I know that Notre Dame loves SAT's, so try to get every section above 700 if u can. And if you can get into the top 5% of your class then apply early. I would call the admissions office and they'll give you some real advice on when to apply. They know better than anyone here. Those are all great schools. Best of luck!</p>
