2. Michigan
3. Duke
4. Northwestern

Your chances aren't very good at any of teh t14. Cornell is your best shot and is probably only 50/50. UCLA and USC are decent chances but not shoe ins. WUSTL and BU should be in.

Good chance at Cornell and UCLA. Should be auto-admit at USC given that you are at/above both 75ths. Maybe a shot at UVA ED.

Nope, OP is below both medians. If you want UVA ED, you better be above at least one of their medians (3.85, 170).

LSP is unreliable when it comes to schools like UVA who basically require one state to be over median unless you are in state. Now, if you are actually talking about LSN, I don't see how you got 50/50.
