Would these be considered a "reach"

Abit of background: i have a degree from a crappy online college (upside is a gtaduated with a cumulative GPA of 3.96)
I spent 3 years studying ancient text abroad.
My whole schooling would be considered rigorous by most standards (i.e. start at 7:45am - 8:45 pm sunday - thursday.) From 9th grade till now 4yrs out of highschool.
Unfortunately, due to getting my degree online, i dont have any really strong LORs, but they are solid.
I have done tons of charity work and the like.
Realistically, i am expecting a 169-172 on my december take.
I have started looking at different schools, and NYU, columbia are looking mighty fine.
Do you guys think these should be considered my 'reach" schools?

    Maybe. I've heard that admissions boil down to LSAT and GPA because that's how schools get ranked. If you can swing an LSAT score in that range I'd say you have a good shot at those and most T-14 schools. Plus, you can probably put together a compelling personal statement; I'm sure there are reasons for the online college, and studying ancient texts sounds interesting.
