<p>It’s realy hard to chance ivies because they are reaches to all applicants, no matter how strong they are (in other words, they reject anybody they want!)</p>
<p>However, your test scores and GPA are looking excellent, so score-wise you are the same if not slightly better than most applicants to those top tier schools. </p>
<p>Your extracurriculars need a lot more elaboration because this is what’s going to distinguish you from all the other applicants. Can you elaborate more on your ECs? Leadership, awards, etc. </p>
<p>I agree - the Ivies are reaches for everyone, simply because they get - and reject - so many qualified applicants each year. As such, my recommendation will be a little skewed…</p>
<p>Safety/Low match - BU
Match - NYU, Tufts, Rice, CMU
High match (only because I know someone with stats like yours who was rejected this year): Northwestern</p>
<p>The rest I would classify as reaches purely because of the above explanation. That being said, I think you have a great shot!</p>
