<p>Do you see any chance with Columbia, Cornell, Williams and Amherst? Thanks.</p>
<p>Williams definitely, not so sure on Columbia. Make sure you have a SOLID essay. I cannot emphasize how many applicants with high scores get rejected every year by these schools.</p>
<p>Harvard rejected 150 applicants who had perfect SAT scores. Are CU, Cornell, and WA the only colleges you want to attend? I'd throw in there some UC and Swarthmore (to pair with WA). </p>
<p>We did apply to UC early action. Will consider Northwestern as well, but would like to consider Columbia and Amherst if chances are high. Thank you for your input.</p>
<p>You can never "definitely" Williams. You're a strong candidate, though. I'd be happy to answer any Amherst questions (though not with admissions).</p>
<p>The EC's will hurt. All I see are clubs and awards--nothing meaningful. It's exaggerated that you need to find the cure for cancer to get into an Ivy League School, but you do need something more than what you've got; a meaningful internship, a grassroots project, etc. For this reason, you'll most likely be rejected at the Ivies.</p>
<p>I agree with GodFatherBob. Your posted profile does not show much more than a brilliant young lady who spends most of her time in front of a computer screen. IMO, the larger the university, then the better are your chances. Cornell looks good. MIT and CalTech may be options that you should consider--especially good for brilliant female applicants. Northwestern RD also looks above average, but I know two 1500+ SAT (out of 1600) scorers last year that were outright rejected last year.</p>
<p>Hmm.. Caltech.. Only about 35% of their undergraduate body are female, so if you're interesting in hard sciences, definitely. Female should more than sufficiently counteract Chinese. </p>
<p>Also, this just occurred to me: if you like Columbia, try SEAS. You'll also be at an advantage for being female, and your math SAT scores are SEAS material. (Their average math SAT score is 760, highest of any college I've seen. Yes, even you, MIT!)</p>
<p>Being asian won't help you. look at me...but anyways. you have very good stats and some good ECs. However, LACs like Williams and Amherst are very competitive. you have a good chance at Cornell and decent chance at columbia. good luck</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone, for your analyses and recommendations. Although I have a good math score, I don't want to study engineering or hard science. I'm considering Economics, Finance, or Statistics. I thought about Carleton at one time, but was kind of put off by something in their letter. Any suggestion?</p>
