incub23,
Based on the (somewhat limited) info you provided, you will be competitive at your target and safety schools. Your odds at your stretch and dream schools depends on factors you didn't mention such as career pace/performance relative to peers, depth of leadership, existence of an ongoing extracurricular (hopefully demonstrating leadership), international exposure if any, strength of personal story etc. Feel free to contact me and we can discuss these and other critical factors: [email protected]
