You have good chances, but it’s hard to predict without test scores. Georgetown will probably be a reach. Being a urm and first generation will give you a leg up, and your gpa and class rigor is pretty impressive. Try to aim harder than a 1360 for the sat to be as competitive as possible. Someone once told me that you should aim for a 1600 because it puts you in a good mindset and gives you confidence. Good luck!
Your biggest reach on that will be georgetown, and I’d guess you could get in to both other places. Like the earlier poster said, aim as high as possible for the SAT, train to get perfect. Probably the most useful site for me was the khan academy sat practice- they’ve got a bunch of free full SATs you can take, and then diagnostics after to help you get better.
As for the rest of your application, your GPA looks pretty good, and your ECs are solid, but seem general. Do you have any idea what you want to try and major in for colleges? Maybe something biomed because of that internship thing? (Side note: don’t mention it on your applications, you don’t want to talk about anything but the things you were accepted to/actually did) Id you’ve got one thing you’re really passionate about, then get more into it in ECs, do an internship, or something. You’ve got a lot of time to do this, so think about it for a while
Good luck!
Chance me back?

Forgot to mention that I am the Community Service Youth Leader at my church and I play piano for my church (if that’s something to put on my resume…)
BU: 55 to 65%.
Washington: 75%.
Georgetown: 15%. You’d need a 1400+ SAT to be competitive here.
