What to expect/ where would you go?

<p>I know I am crazy in applying to 13 different schools, all of which are extremely competitive. Here is the list: Villanova (accepted), U Michigan (accepted), Tufts, Colgate, Bowdoin (legacy), William & Mary, Georgetown, Northwestern, UPA, Dartmouth, Princeton, Harvard, McGill. </p>

<p>Here are my stats: SATm: 670, v 690, ACT: 30, Sat2's math2c: 760, history: 690, writing: 660.
GPA: 3.94 Unweighted, 4.5 weighted Rank: 6/168 weighted 7/168 unweighted
Public Rural High School
Major/Career Interests: Biochem, engineering, business.
Only A few awards/recognitions.
Classes: Taking all AP's my school offers (8 credits total right now, no study halls) also have taken 1 distance and 1 on campus college course at Syracuse and Harvard respectively. Set up an independent study in AP economics.</p>

<p>I have a fair amount of leadership positions including serving on the school board as a representative and working with other school boards across the state.
I have played tennis on varsity for 4 years, came in second last year in both the team and doubles state tournaments. Hopefully will win first places this year.
I worked as a dishwasher over the summer at a local restaurant to earn money to buy my own car/ pay for other expenses.
I am involved in almost every thearter production my school puts on, our auditorium is bigger/ newer than most colleges. I have stage manages/ done tech for numerous shows including Judy Collins, Don Mclean, and Dave Brubeck.
So this is me, I am hoping to have a lot of options to choose from in a month. I am seeking feedback on my chances/ where i should go of the schools i am likely to be accepted at. Using just SAT/ACT scores, I am above average at Villanova, Colgate, Tufts, and U Mich. I think the legacy will help with Bowdoin, but I am hoping to get lucky with a few of my reaches. Thanks for any input or advice. Good luck to everyone waiting for decisions.</p>

<p>As a legacy, I think you'll get into Bowdoin. Do you want to stay in Maine? You have a solid shot at NU and Georgetown. The ivies are a huge reach unless the tennis coach is recruiting you.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a fair chance at Tufts, Colgate, W&M, UPA, Bowdoin (b/c of legacy), and probably McGill... but as soon as you get up to Georgetown, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Princeton, Harvard, you're chances diminish, so I wouldn't count on them as much, but because of your fairly strong academics and great EC's, I wouldn't dismiss them either.
Good Luck!</p>
