<p>get your SAT up. Try to take majority AP classes in junior and senior year. Get better quality extracurricular. Harvard, yale princeton, and other top collegs are a reach for you at this moment.</p>
<p>Also, I just found out my school is in ranked in the top 100 schools (public and private) nationwide. The senior class sends about 12~ students every year to the Ivies (120~ class size), and I think I’d rank about… top 10 %</p>
<p>201 on the PSAT as a Sophomore is great. You definitely want to get your score up when you take the actual SAT at your Junior year. Your GPA is solid, and your ECs are strong. Your ECs could be better (and also use more emphasis on your field of interest), and keep in mind, as a Chinese American, colleges won’t like to see you submit a SAT II score of your own language.</p>
