USC = Reach
Northeasern/BU = Reach Match

LMU/Santa Clara = Saftey
You need to add more schools.

Looking for: in or near a city, mid-sized, preferably not in the Midwest.
3.9 UW GPA at private school, moderately rigorous courses, 32 ACT (may apply TO)
No hooks
Possible candidates: Northeastern, U of Miami, Villanova, BU, BC, Wake Forest, Lehigh, LMU, USC, Santa Clara
Any feedback or other ideas?
Look at U of Rochester, if 6500 isn't too small. Both great engineering and liberal arts
Thanks!
