DOn’t think any of the schools are reaches for you; you stand an equal chance at all four schools. Matter of fact, of the four schools, Colgate will be probably be the toughest. All four are very different in location and campus climate/feel, so go where you’ll be happiest.

BTW, emphasize your phone cards collection for the Iraqi war vets in your short answer essay, if not your personal statement. If you actually went to Walter Reed Hospital to present them to the soldiers, you’ve potentially got a remarkable essay.

BTW, at all the schools you’re looking at, you should apply early. This fall plan to visit each of them again and do an overnight if possible.
