<p>O yea, I'm asian. And male.</p>

<p>Well, there ya go. I had another thread, but that kinda died, since I posted it at like 1 o'clock.
What're my chances at Upenn, Columbia, JHU, MIT, Cornell, and <em>gasp</em> Princeton?</p>

<p>Reaches:
UPenn - 40%
Princeton - 5%
MIT - 30%</p>

<p>Matches:
Columbia - 60% (only b/c you have SHP)
JHU - 60%
Cornell - 60%</p>

<p>You need some safeties.</p>

<p>ummmm more like</p>

<p>cornell, JHU u are in
upenn and columbia like VERY good chance at getting in
MIT and princeton toss up but u are competitive 50% like everyone else. but u are very involved and so so ur essays are what will make u or break u</p>

<p>u have great stats good luck</p>

<p>Thanks man, you too. These forums are kinda weird, 'cause ppl have such differing views of chances getting into colleges.</p>

<p>i agree with shrek. mit and princeton you have as good a chance as anyone</p>

<p>Those are some very solid, respectable, and altogether awesome stats.</p>

<p>agreed your stats and EC's are great and should give u a pretty good chance at penn, columbia, jhu, cornell</p>

<p>MIT, princeton are a toss up as everyone else said</p>

<p>bumpity bump bump</p>
