I would agree with @tspmf12 - you should try taking the ACT again or take a practice SAT and see if you score higher. Otherwise, you’ll get into at least a few of your match schools, but you’ll get a lot of rejections as well.

I’m curious, what were your criteria for this college list? For example, Carleton is very different from UW-Madison, which is incredibly different from Johns Hopkins, etc.

Also - have you thought about finances at all? That needs to be one of your main concerns.
