What are my chances at...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Sorry for making another one of these. I'm about to start planning trips to schools, and I came up with a tentative list of schools I'm interested in. Can anyone let me know what my chances are/if they sound like good matches for my interests?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 at a highly competitive high school
AP's: Eng. Lang, Eng Lit, Spanish Lang, Computer Science, BC Calculus, Gov, Comp Gov
Systems and Graphics (not an AP, but a college level CS class)
Some EC's w/ leadership position and summer internship at Morgan Stanley for computer science
Sat: CR/M/WR 750/700/790
SATII Lit: 710
ACT: Still waiting for scores, guessing about a 34-35, hoping for 36</p>

<p>I know classes/ecs suggest computer science, but I'm leaning more toward a Poli Sci/Gov major, with a minor in either CS or Journalism, maybe even Econ. I'm also interested in staying within a few hours of NYC, at a medium sized school. I know my list deviates from this, but that's because each school has some appeal to me. Let me know your thoughts!</p>

<p>Safeties:
American University
George Washington University
University of Michigan
Brandeis University</p>

<p>Targets:
Tufts University
Wesleyan University
Amherst College (probably should be a reach, but I needed something else here)</p>

<p>Reaches:
Swarthmore University
Georgetown University
Northwestern University</p>

<p>Super-Reach: (probably won't even consider applying)
Columbia University
University of Pennsylvania</p>

<p>Thanks for the response.</p>

<p>I was using my school’s data for chancing myself. They provide information on GPA and SAT scores based on acceptances, rejections and waitlists. For students with my numbers, about 75% seem to get into Wesleyan, 50% at Amherst, with a little bit less at Georgetown and Northwestern. Also, upon reviewing the data, Northwestern is probably closer to a target school.</p>

<p>I was looking more for opinions on whether I had too many reaches, if i could have more difficult safeties, if i need easier safeties, and maybe even some suggestions for other schools that may interest me.</p>

<p>Any help will be appreciated!</p>
