If you could become president of a couple clubs, that would help a lot. You lack leadership on the EC’s. If you’re taking an AP-heavy schedule this year and make all A’s, you could definitely help the GPA and class rank, which would be huge. All in all, those schools are difficult for everyone. Don’t feel bad that some are being called reaches, that’s just life with prestigious colleges. Apart from that, I don’t know what more to say. Definitely boosting the ACT/SAT scores is the biggest part of the process as you know. If you can do most of those things, your chances may still be a reach, but they’re a much lower reach.
