<p>I think that you’re competitive at all of those schools, but have you considered any ‘high match’ or safety schools? I suggest the university of michigan… its a great school. I’m in a similar boat, except that I’m not planning to apply to as many ivies.</p>

<p>I’d say you look very good at Wash U and Northwestern, and solid at cornell as well. Williams and Amherst may be a little tougher, but if you show that you are extremely passionate about one of your extracurriculars, such as the mock trial team, you will increase your chances. You have the academic profile for those 2 liberal arts schools, but they are so small and there are many other applicants with similar academic achievements that also are state ranked atheletes or are a renowned piano player or something… i don’t know, you just need something to differentiate yourself from the masses. Could you do that with one (or two i guess) of your ECs?</p>

<p>also I should mention something I picked up talking to a Wash U rep: they do not like to be a safety school and will reject highly qualified applicants if they suspect there is not a lot of interest there. I think they are one of the only colleges that considers whether or not you have visited campus. Just food for thought.</p>

<p>To be honest, you have a great chance at any of the schools you listed. Your GPA is great, your SAT is great, your ECs are good. The only thing is that the ivies especially are very random and like to throw curve balls in once in a while. You’re most likely going to get into one, but to be safe, might want to add a few lower schools on there.</p>
