<p>everything seems great, thought it may be difficult for you to stand out.</p>

<p>Harvard - high reach
Stanford - high reach
Princeton - high reach
Penn - reach
Cornell - low reach
Columbia - reach
Brown - reach</p>

<p>i’d say you’d get into at least one or two of your reach schools</p>

<p>the rest seem to be matches</p>

3

<p>I assume you have safeties back home in Canada…?</p>

<p>Lots of reaches, but that’s what I’d expect given your position. Good luck.</p>

4

<p>Very good grades and test scores. EC’s and Awards aren’t significant in the eyes of Ivies however, especially since you are applying as an international ORM.</p>

<p>Harvard - Mid-High Reach
Stanford - Mid-High Reach
Princeton - Mid-High Reach
Penn - Mid Reach
Cornell - Mid Reach
Northwestern - Match
Columbia - Mid Reach
USC - Low Match
Brown - Mid Reach
Duke</p>

<p>yeah I have schools in Canada that I know I’ll be accepted to. But how many US schools do you think I’ll get into out of my whole list? around 4?</p>

<p>Oh yeah and I’m not applying for Fin. aid</p>

6

<p>The first 5, no, the next 5, yes.
Being Asian(indian) will group you with too many other applicants, who are perfect. The no financial aid is a plus.</p>

7

<p>Your stats are amazing, yet your ECs aren’t impressive at those schools. Their good, but don’t really say that you’re passionate about something - quite scattered.
However, if you have good essays, I think you’ll get into about half those schools, since your an international not applying for aid.</p>

<p>Harvard - Mid-High Reach
Stanford - Mid-High Reach
Princeton - Mid-High Reach
Penn - Reach
Cornell - Reach
Northwestern - Match
Columbia - Mid Reach
USC - In
Brown - Mid Reach
Duke - Mid Reach</p>
