<p>Thanks in advance guys and sorry for too much detail/layout issues. If I’m missing any crucial info let me know</p>

<p>you have a good courseload and decent grades, 34 act is probably good enough. idk about the EC’s, so i wont comment on them, but you’re probably better off not putting the amc 10 score since there are so many kids who qualify for aime with 120+. you have a more than good shot at uva, william/mary, jhu, and nyu IMO. i think u chicago and duke will be harder but attainable, and the rest are reaches for anybody.</p>

<p>UVA - match
UPenn - high reach if Wharton, reach if regular college
Duke - reach
Columbia - reach
William & Mary - not familiar
NYU - match
Caltech - high reach (lack of m/s)
JHU - reach
U Chicago - reach
HYPSM, hopefully? - crapshoot </p>

<p>btw…try to have a tentative major decided before you go applying. And yea…99 on AMC 10 isn’t anything you wanna put on your resume (even if it is school-best score)</p>

<p>I think you will be accepted to both UVA and William and Mary. Great job! Best of luck to you!</p>
