Davidson- good match
Cornell- practically no chance
vanderbilt- reach
washington- good match
vilannova- you will most likely get in (>50%)
UT austin- around 50%, maybe a little higher
uva- very very big reach
colorado- safety

i don't know about grinnell, western washington, washington state, or texas a&m.

To my knowledge, Davidson is a lot harder to get into than Vanderbilt and about on par with UVA if not more selective
