For looking at some of these schools, you clearly haven’t challenged yourself very much. That few APs? (unless your school offers that few) You may be a fairly smart person, but there are multitudes more people who have done more and worked harder with the same intelligence who will be applying to these schools. I’m not talking the folks who amass 10+ APs over their HS tenure, but those who amass 4-5.

Most of the colleges you have listed are kinda reachy. Penn is pretty much out of the question. BC, UMD, UVA, UM, Nova, and perhaps UF are less than targets. Especially out of state.

I;m not saying they’re impossible or improbable. But don’t consider them safe at all.
