<p>The only schools on your list that are reaches are Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona, and U Chicago. All the others are between “pretty safe” and “shoo-in”. </p>
<p>You’re a terrific candidate with a compelling vision of what you want. I think your list is shaping up well, but you might consider cutting down on safeties unless you <em>love</em> them. Scripps? Grinnell? Bates? Colby? Whitman? Hamilton? UW? These schools take you for sure. Do you need to apply to all of them?</p>
<p>(Caveat: I’m a Williams alum & you should go there haha)</p>
