Can these schools be considered matches?

You need to also consider their low acceptance rates. Comparing your scores to a college's published ranges does not give enough info to determine reach/match/safety.

Amherst is clearly in reach-for-all territory.

BC, BU, Northeastern could be low reaches for someone with stats at the 75th percentile. For middle of the middle 50 percentiles, reaches.

Brandeis and Lehigh I'd probably categorize as high match/low reach if stats are at the 75th percentile. For middle of the middle 50 percentiles, reaches.

Chapman would be a match with stats in the middle of the middle 50, maybe low match with stats at or above the 75th percentile.

(So as you can see, it's a bit of a continuum.)
