hey thanks for chancing me! i think all the schools you listed you can get into, rochester and case western might want a slight increase in the SAT (just try to get CR above 600) and northwestern is a super reach regardless. but it is always nice to have one reach on your list because, who knows, anything can happen. well i would retake the SAT, shoot for that 2000 and you'll look good!

I'd say in at all of them except Northwestern, and USC could be a bit of a reach too. You'll be fine everywhere else though.

i think you have a good shot at all.
USC and northwestern might be a bit tough, but get the scores up and you'll be fine (:

if you can pull your SAT score up to 2000, send that instead of your 28 ACT score. your courseload looks good to me (lots of APs, honors) and your GPA is very solid, so that shouldnt hurt you at all.
the other problem is that the ECs dont jump out at me. you're obviously a very sporty/athletic person, but you dont demonstrate passion in one sport. nor do you have a lot of leadership roles...
anyways, my predictions:

University of Rochester: high reach
Case Western Reserve University: low reach
Northwestern(my mom knows the dean of the math department but this is still a huge reach i know): knowing the dean miiight help, do you know him well enough to ask for a letter of rec? try and see if you can get an internship or something with him this summer, then ask him for a letter either way, this is still a highh reach
USC: reach
University of the Pacific: no idea what this is..
Florida institute of Technology: match
Good luck!

chance me back if you have time? Chance me for top schools, Ivies?

University of Rochester/Case Western/University of Pacific: Definite In!
USC: Most Likely
Northwestern/FIT:Improve those Scores, More Volunteering and Diversified ECs, then you'll have a great chance!
-For Northwestern try to focus on an obstacle you've overcame in your essay.
Chance me? Notre Dame, Possibility?

A retest with some good studying would probably be very beneficial. I have friends who have made Northwestern with 32 ACTs and average class courses (2-3 APs a year, etc., one or two strong ECs), you should be able to get a good chance at all of your schools with some work. Good luck!
