<p>Well SATs might help, and you’ll probably need 2 subject tests. But your ACT is great, and your other stats are solid too. </p>

<p>NYU - high match
Washington University - don’t know
Vanderbilt - high match
Tulane - high match
Lehigh -match
Wesleyan - low reach
Boston College - match
University of Richmond - probably match
Emory - do not know well
University of Southern California - high reach
University of Chicago - reach
Rice - low reach</p>

<p>NYU: reach
Washington University: reach
Vanderbilt: reach
Tulane: in
Lehigh: moderate reach
Wesleyan: high match
Boston College: match
University of Richmond: in
Emory: reach
University of Southern California: reach because 86% of their incoming class is in the top 10%
University of Chicago: reach
Rice: reach</p>

<p>Unless you go to one of those elite MA high schools, the fact you’re out of the top 10% by far means you probably don’t have a good chance of any of the reaches on the list.</p>
