<p>First of all, your scores are freaking amazing. I am sure that you will get in in at least one of your choices... your EAs are a little bit weak but the ping-pong is kind of a hook, I guess... don't get many #1 in state ping-pong dudes applying to these colleges, so it gives you points for your uniqueness...</p>

<p>Stanford EA - Match
Yale - High Match
Princeton - Low Reach
UPenn - Match
Johns Hopkins - Low Match
Carnegie Mellon - Low Match
Columbia - High Match
Northwestern - Low Match/Safetyish?
Penn State - You're already in.</p>

<p>thanks for the input.

<p>you're great, but yale as a high match...upenn as a match...stanford ea as a match? these are all reach schools no matter what...no one except a huge legacy or a famous actor can say they're a match at yale. nonetheless, you have great chances at all these schools.</p>

<p>Sorry if im letting you down, but im gnna disagree with ironmetal. No ivy is a match. ever. your stats are great, but ur ECs lack a bit due to the fact that u do not have any leadership positions.</p>

<p>Stanford EA- crapshoot/reach
Yale-same
Princeton-same
UPenn-reach/low reach: reach if you're applying for business
Johns Hopkins-reach/low reach
Carnegie Mellon-high match
Columbia-reach/low reach
Northwestern-low reach/high match
Penn State-no idea but im guessing thats a safety.</p>

<p>i suggest u add some mid lvl schools to your list. except for penn state, all those are high risks that u cannot predict. dont take any chances and add schools like UVA or BC or wutever.</p>

6

<p>yeah, this list is definitely top heavy right now so ill have to cut down and add some mid tier schools too</p>

<h1>$@#$ I wish I was asian</h1>

<p>=(</p>

8

<p>hahaha, no its definitely a good thing that you are not asian because then you would have to compete with a ton of other kids like myself to get into a top college.</p>

9

<p>So true...</p>

10

<p>hahaha....bumpity</p>

11

<p>Why in the world would anyone wanna be Asian? Hahaha. The competition stinks...</p>

12

<p>its pretty incredible how quickly these threads fall off the charts... bump</p>

13

<p>i always dream of being naitive american (im asian)</p>

14

<p>^^why don't you just be happy with who you are. </p>

<p>anyway, yeah the ivies are hard to say, but i have a friend at Yale who got in RD last year with almost exactly the same stats. so you'll probably get into a few of the ivies , but not all of them.</p>

<p>all the other colleges you should consider yourself in.</p>
