Chance me NYU, BU, GWU

Thank you for sharing - that makes more sense now.

You are a very accomplished student and certainly can be proud of the rigorous classes you took and the results - and it has already paid off based on some of the very fine schools that have extended offers to you.

As far as your three reach schools, the outcome at Fordham gives you a general sense how difficult admissions at these schools truly are for anyone. While I do think you are a good candidate for those, it’s important to realize that these schools are forced to turn away about 80% of equally qualified applicants.
It’s not that all these applicants are not a similarly good fits - it’s just that the colleges cannot “fit” more people. (You and my daughter seem to have similar likes. And although she had been admitted to Fordham and to each of your three reach schools, she did have a higher class rank.)

So my advice is to certainly keep your fingers crossed. But in the meantime learn as much as you can about the schools you were already admitted to, find out about the many things to love about them because its feasible that one of those will be your new home where you will continue to thrive!
