<p>I read this entire thread, and then went back to your original list:</p>

<p>IMHO, the only prayer you have of getting into Dartmouth, Georgetown, Middlebury, Bowdoin, U of C, Amherst, and Brown is your URM status and the possibility that you write an essay that catches someone’s fancy. Sure, pick a couple and try. But don’t count on anything.</p>

<p>The same may be true to a lesser extent of a bunch more of them, such as BC, Holy Cross, Colgate, and Trinity. (I don’t have time right now to find your stats again and compare them to all of these schools, but they sound like reaches. Very likely some of the rest are at best reachy matches.)</p>

<p>I would suggest that you look closely at The College of Wooster. You might also want to look at Stonehill and Elon.</p>

<p>People have given you excellent advice here. Time to get real and listen to it.</p>
