<p>I am a hardcore procrastinator so most of my essays are still being written. Therefore, I cannot reasonably judge them. I have reason to believe that my recs are fairly good.</p>

<p>I am also applying to a ridiculously huge amount of schools: Amherst, Lafayette, Williams, Brown, Cornell, Yale, Swarthmore, Dartmouth, Tufts, Niagara University, University of Chicago, Colgate and Oberlin. </p>

<p>If you could shed any light on my chances for one or all of the schools, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.</p>

<p>You are aiming very high, which is a good thing because your stats are great! However all the ivies are reaches for pretty much anyone who applies. But you have a decent shot at all of your colleges.</p>

<p>First off, I don’t know if asking other students would be the best way to gauge your college admissions chances, but I see your reasoning and will give you my very basic estimations.
Amherst - Reach
Lafayette - Safety
Williams - Reach
Brown - Reach
Cornell - Depending on what your interested in, Match to Low Reach
Yale - Reach
Swarthmore - Reach
Dartmouth - Reach
Tufts - Match
Niagara - Safety
University of Chicago - Match
Colgate - Match
Oberlin - Match
It looks like a solid college list, as long as you would be absolutely happy at your safeties (Niagara and Lafayette). Good luck!</p>
