<p>very nice EC's, but your test scores could see some improvement.</p>

<p>I'm going to say the obvious... test scores and ethnicity are against you. Howver, pretty nice EC's (though somewhat unfocused) and a strong courseload are on your side.</p>

<p>I don't know about too many of your schools, but here's what I know:
UVa - no clue
BU - slight reach (depends on test scores)
JHU - reach
UCLA - reach if out of state, low match/high safety if in state
Purdue - no clue
Rutgers - no clue
OSU - safety if Oregon SU, no clue if Ohio SU
WashU - slight reach (depends on scores)
UPenn - reach
WVU - safety</p>
