You’re getting in to all of these schools. Your credentials are incredible. I wish you the best of luck!
Johns Hopkins is a reach. Brandeis is a match as is Villanova.
You should add a few more safeties. Too many reach schools.
I only have 3 reach schools and I got accepted to to a match and safety school
Yea, mostly for my 3 reach schools. But hey, might as well apply, don’t want to live with the regret.
@Lehigh2022 I only have 3 reaches and I already got accepted 6/10 of the schools on my list. I should be fine 
@nj1984 Yea, I know it’s too low, but I really am genuinely interested in Johns Hopkins. And hey, you never know, I don’t want to live with the regret of not applying!
@SO180242 where did you get into?
Some expensive schools on that list. Do you have financial ability to attend all of them, or do you need FA/merit?
@Lehigh2022 I got into Stony Brook, Rutgers NB, Rutgers N, Loyola, Montclair State, and Seton Hall
@Gatormama I need FA/merit for most of the private schools.
Agree that John’s Hopkins and Villanova are reaches. I also agree that it’s important to consider affordability.
Congratulations on the schools to which you’ve been accepted thus far!!! You will have great options for achieving your goals in the future, regardless of which college you attend.
I think Johns Hopkins is a reach but the rest you’ll get in. I assume you have a strong essay for villanova so I think you’ll get in. Brandeis doesn’t care about scores because they know it doesn’t matter a lot, it might be a reach(hope your essay is very personal but insightful)Chance me back please? lol
@xanthippe Thank you for your honest answer, I definitely considered affordability, which is why I applied to Rutgers, Montclair State, and TCNJ which are all in-state public schools.
@andrewl2k I agree as well and I will chance you back!
you should get into all of the schools except jhu and villanova (those are reaches)
@HolyCheeseballs Yea, I agree. I still hope I get in, but at least it’s better to apply and get rejected to not apply at all.
