Laid-back but strong northeast schools?

<p>Sdoncc, yeah, this is what I’m worried about. I hate not having much to show for myself in the EC’s; for 16 years, I’ve pretty much been wasting my free time and half-assing things that I do (I’m mainly into art, martial arts, and longboarding). I decided to get good at these things and become passionate about them too, but with senior year, it’s hard to find the time (I work part time every day, have a decent amount of homework that i procrastinate on, etc). I’m working on it though. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help guys!
my tentative list:
reaches: i won’t bother listing them, there are too many
matches/low matches: (not too sure about these): UVA, virginia tech, lehigh, GWU, Boston college, and others. UNC-CH, but since i’m out of state, it seems like a reach
Safeties: University of Washington (random, but I have family out there and love seattle, and it’s a good school), Umass amherst, UVM, CU-Boulder (again random, looked pretty decent), and otherrs. this section won’t be hard to expand/modify either</p>
