Thoise are all incredible colleges and super competitive. Everyone in the northeast applies to them…. BUT you have great stats! I think you are in at all of the except for perhaps Brown and maybe Cornell. Be sure to interview at Holy Cross. They practically insist on it.

Those are very competitive scores! Brown and Cornell, as Ivy Leagues, may be your reaches simply because no one can guarantee getting in there. My suggestion: go to campuscompare.com and use their “What are my Chances?” tool to plug in your stats and see where you have the best shot. My advice would be to apply to all of those, and then maybe one or two “safeties” that you could still see yourself going to. Since you’re interested in the sciences, you might actually want to try a state school for your safety. They usually have good labs/lab funding. SUNY Albany and UMASS Amherst both have good science programs.
Best of luck!
