The posts here unless they’re by someone who really knows about college admissions (and there are quite are few) can either falsely boost confidence or underscore you depending on the person writing them. That said My gpa is slightly higher than yours but my ECs aren’t as great. I spread myself too thin there I think, for my kind of willpower. My guidance counselor puts Cornell as a reach for me. Chances on the others are good. Early action Cornell I’d say because Cornell is one of the only colleges that says it cares about early action applicants more. It has a huge ratio of accepted to early applicants. Or not. It’s up to you.

I might also consider Georgetown a reach. I never understood why people wanted to go there though. Also your volunteer hours are huge. I think you have a reason for not getting the best sat scores for your reaches, but don’t quote me on that.
