<p>Maybe William and Mary, Boston College, GWU, Babson (matches/high matches)
Georgetown as a reach? (I know their business school is pretty good…)</p>

Northwestern–slight reach to reach
Michigan–match
Rutgers–safety to safe match
WUSL–reach
William and Mary–match to slight reach

<p>Your rank is going to really hurt unless you go to a top HS *(1350 plus average SAT). Maybe NYU CAS if you don’t need $$.</p>
