<p>Many of your schools are very selective (Bowdoin, Bates, Middlebury, Duke, Cornell, Brown, and Emory). These schools will all require an ACT within 30-36 or SAT of 2100+. Despite your ‘hooks’ there are many others out there like you with high stats that may have an edge over you. The other schools you have on your list will require a minimum 26-27 ACT or 1850ish SAT. Remember with bigger schools, they will use your test scores/GPA very heavily to weed out the massive amount of applicants. Good luck and all the best</p>
