You have a pretty good shot at University of Delaware, but not at any of the other ones. Your test scores are too low for them, so unless you have stupendous extracurriculars I don't think you could get in.

i have great extracurricular activities. i am vice president of habitat for humanity, attended the national youth leadership program on medicine, play violin first string in orchestra, volunteer for autism speaks, varsity soccer, varsity badminton, indoor/outdoor track, 2-3 ap classes per semester, and i am sure i am leaving something out.

Despite the impressive extracuriculars and GPA these are some of the most selective colleges in the nation. Unless your Sat's go up a significant amount these are all reach schools except for Delaware.

they all take the act instead of the sat and if i can get my act to close to 30 shouldnt i still have a good chance?

i agree, Ud is probably the only one. nova or holy cross might because of your extras but i wouldn't count on it...

colgate's just as hard as anything to get into these days. raise your scores (i know that is easier said than done) even a bit, and your chances will raise at holy cross and villanova.
