Some Safeties: Your states state Universities, American University,

Some Matches: Johns Hopkins, Cornell(Easiest Ivy to get into),NYU, Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago

Some Reaches: Columbia University, Dartmouth University, Brown University, University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore University

Some Uber Reaches: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT. I'm pretty sure you've heard of the acronym HYPSM.

I completely agree with raiderade. what are you trying to get sympathy? 3.8GPA is an excellent GPA. Of course, I'm pretty sure thats what u wanted to hear, because it seems like you're trying to show off your stats by saying they arent. "I dont think I'll get very far in life" my ass. As for the colleges that u can apply to, think top 25 in the college rankings. Check them out at the USNews college rankings website.

psh.
