Chance a stressed co'26 for her dream schools! [NJ resident, 3.90 GPA, 1560 SAT, 34 ACT, 1520 PSAT; computer science, data science, philosophy]

Congrats on your excellent profile. You are certainly a viable candidate for any college and have a shot to get in anywhere. However, as I am guessing you already know, there are more worthy candidates than spots available at the hyper-competitive colleges so it is impossible to chance someone.

Your list has a ton of reaches, but glad to see a few safety/match schools. Would you be excited to attend those schools as well? Perhaps add in a couple additional match/high match schools (ex. URochester, Case, as a couple of examples).

Anything productive you do over the summer (including a summer job) would be just fine.

Are all of these colleges comfortably affordable for your family? For example, as an OOS student you will not get any aid at the UC colleges.
