You aren’t aiming too high, because I think those would all be good schools for you. However, every school you listed is very competitive. I would recommend looking into more middle ground schools as well.

3

You have a great profile but you need to be more aware of demographics. Wellesley is a smart choice.

Many of the schools you listed are overrun with Asian applicants, be aware of that.

Your good, as in these schools are all in the ballpark for you but they are all competitive. You should have some matches and safeties. Matches for you would be like NYU, USC, Emory, UT Austin etc. You also need atleast one safety school.
