<p>Based on your GPA and test scores Dartmouth, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Washington U St. Louis are reach schools. UCLA (based on scores) would be a match, but if you are an out of state student admission is much more difficult. Same with Michigan-Ann Arbor and University of Virginia. Tulane, Wake Forest, Villanova, Maryland-College Park, New York University, and Syracuse are matches. I think Boston College is more of a low reach for you. Your extra curricular activities seem pretty strong to me so that should help your application. Also your challenging course load will help to offset the lower GPA. I know you already have an extensive list but you might to consider adding a school that is more of a safety. </p>
