Hi Abby17 and thanks so much for your post!

I think that you have a realistic shot at the programs on your list, and I'm glad to hear that you're applying R1. You absolutely should make sure that you use your extra-curricular interests in your application as well, to really help differentiate you from peer applicants with similar backgrounds.
Some other programs you might want to consider are George Washington University, Wake Forest University (Babcock) and University of Denver (Daniels).
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for a more detailed, free initial assessment of your profile.
Best,
Deena
