<p>I am not sure about Georgetown or Northwestern, but I think Uchicago is a reach and Columbia might be a high reach.</p>

<p>Not to discourage you or anything, but from my experience: I was rejected by Columbia and waitlisted by UChicago although my SATs were higher than yours, and had similar GPA and extracurricular. I was president of community service, piano solo debut at Carnegie hall in New York City, etc. The competition is only getting tougher every year, so I would recommend aiming for a higher SAT and a compelling essay. And then if you apply for ED at Columbia, I think you have a good chance. (Assuming other factors such as rec. letters are great). And I hope I am not being offensive in anyway (I’m just trying to help you), you’re white, so affirmative action’s not going to tip in your favor.</p>

<p>I hope you get in!</p>
