Skidmore is a match, Bates is a reach. Not sure about ConnCollege. Not needing financial aid is a boost at all three schools I believe.

I think they are all matches as your gpa is strong and your ACT is slightly above the school’s avg. Doesn’t mean you will get in, but you will get a good look.

Think Connecticut College and Skidmore are matches, but I would put Bates as a reach given OP’s stats and that admission rate is less than 20%.
