Wash U is a reach because of the GPA. Get it up above 3.8, and you can call it a day. Also, if you get your writing score above 2100, your chances will go considerably up. U of Chicago is a slightly lower reach, and JHU and NWU are both low reaches for you. The only way these top tier schools would be matches for you is if you had your ECs and perfect GPA and perfect SATs (aka the perfect applicant), so do not feel bad at all.
In effect, we are saying you are a competitive applicant.
and if it's good karma to chance you, then maybe itll go around...
