I barely got accepted to my high school from the waiting list.
I am going to write about how I came in as an outsider/foreigner/underdog and became class president and received the outstanding awards two years.
My resume might seem trivial to others, but they mean a lot to me considering I was the last person on the line for my current school.</essays></p>

<p>I’m sorry to say this, but the schools you listed are increedibly competitive and your stats aren’t that outstanding. Your SAT score is okay, but not amazing (try and get it up to at least 2200 if you can) and while your ECs are good, there are loots of people who qualified to the AMC, state math, are violinists, and involved in student government. Also whats your unweighted GPA? 4.15 doesnt seem too outstanding just offhand for a weighted GPA…</p>

<p>Ultimately it will come down to your essays, but even with that, I think your chances are slim.</p>

<p>Oops I take that back- high reaches at Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and UPenn, mid reach at NW, match/low reach for Emory/UMich. Sorry, didnt see the last ones at first :P</p>

<p>I would really focus on raising CR and writing. I think H and P are major, major reaches, but Penn could be possible with higher scores.</p>
