<p>Georgetown and Tufts are low reaches.
Brown and Princeton are high reaches. </p>

<p>Your SAT scores are too low :( 640 Verbal needs to be a tad bit higher. Math too.</p>

<p>Good ranks and the sports/music is impressive so those will definitely help. However, you could definitely improve on your verbal score since that's below average at some of the schools you are applying. I agree with aquamarinee that Georgetown and Tufts are low reaches and Brown and Princeton are high reaches.</p>

<p>By the way, care to chance me? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=363142%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=363142&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It's probably a good idea to bring your dad up to speed on the realities of getting into top colleges sooner rather than later. If you go to a competitive school in NJ, you probaby have a counselor you can have him talk to.</p>

<p>All 4 of those schools are reaches IMO without 200 more SAT points. Even then the pool of talented kids from NJ applying to them is enormous.</p>
