William and Mary and UBA shouldn't be a problem for you. I don't know about the others

No I live out of state for all those schools, thanks for reminding me I should've posted that earlier.

You should get into Villanova easily, although I have heard of people being waitlisted if they are overqualified. William and Mary and UVA should be okay too, and I'm not too familiar with ND but you definitely have a good chance!

Edit: My school ranks by percentages. The most finite ranking we give beyond Valedictorian and Salutatorian is decile ranking, and I rank in the top 10% of my class. Thanks to all who reply.

Villanova: Safety
UVA: Match
W&M: Match
ND: High match (ND is a borderline "reach-for-anyone")
