Chance me for WashU, Emory, + other colleges! [AZ resident, 4.0 GPA, pre law]

I think, assuming the 1400, that the first four are unlikely.

Richmond is better odds but not great Similar with Smith.

If you demonstrate interest, Bryn Mawr and American are likely.

There’s more schools that might fit your mold. Take law school out of the equation - you don’t know if you’ll go - and even if you are sure, whether you go to Yale or Youngstown State, you can still get into a top law school. Harvard has 146 schools represented in its first year class. Penn had 119 schools represented in its first year class and over 200 in the law school.

So if your safety is an Arizona or Denver or wherever, law school is not going to be a concern, even the top ones.

So take that part out of your decision.

Also, given you want business nearby, I’m not sure Richmond fits. Plus while it’s a fine school, it’s business dominant - so it doesn’t seem to fit what you’d want in my opinion. Given your interests, you really should look at College of Charleston and the Charleston Fellows and International Scholars programs. It’s a public LAC and strong in poli sci and Global Studies, with the Mroz Institute.

Tufts as a reach and Brandeis as a target might be other schools that fit you.

Best of luck.
