Your UW GPA is around 3.6 right? Your ACT is 30 right? Rather than see if you can slip into Cornell or GTown or Penn other very selective schools, why don’t you try the Super Match function on the left and see what is a good set of schools to target based on what you bring to the table – rather than trying to sniff out the formula to a handful of very selective colleges?

Frankly, your GPA and transcript rigor are the most important factors. Yours will be swamped by many in the applicant pools of the very selective colleges. Currently your list is way too top heavy with unrealistic schools. Your goal is to craft a reasonable list of colleges and less hunting for some magic formula to the very selective colleges.
