<p>Great SAT, great academics, okay extracurriculars… They’re both reaches for you but it’s very subjective. If you have a great essay and great recommendations that can really make your application. Don’t get your hopes up though. Don’t forget to apply to safeties! chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1529081-chance-uri-unh-uconn-nyu-bu-cornell-brown-upenn.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1529081-chance-uri-unh-uconn-nyu-bu-cornell-brown-upenn.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I tihnk you have an awesome shot at the colleges mentioned abbove, but need to maintain your GPA above a 4.0 because it would look bad to have great 3 years to have above 4.0 and then slip in Sr. yr. Good Luck :)</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>Your class size stayed at 655 for all 3 years? That’s crazy.</p>

<p>High Match/Low Reach for both.</p>

<p>You don’t have too good of extracurriculars. You only did them towards the end of high school, and you have one leadership position, and little recognition. </p>

<p>However, the rest of your application is competitive. It is somewhat astounding that you jumped from 53rd to 1st in you class in one year. Valedictorian looks great (so make sure to keep it), and your GPA, ACT, SAT II’s, and SAT all are good for both. I’d say:</p>

<p>Georgetown: Low Reach
Cornell: Reach</p>
