<p>Since English is your first language I assume, you'll need to raise the CR score significantly for most of your schools.</p>

<p>Quite a few top New Zealand and Australian students on CC applying to the top Ivies this year.</p>

<p>All your distinction awards really help--as do the SAT IIs. Obviously, the 610 SAT CR and the relatively few AP courses hurt at the really top schools, but the fact that you had to study for them yourself and that you got fives in all of them is quite impressive.</p>

<p>MIT--Slight Reach
Princeton--Reach
Upenn--Match (except at Wharton, where you are Match to Slight Reach)
UnivChicago--Match (although depends upon essays)
Cornell--Match
Dartmouth--Match to Slight Reach (really borderline, but I'd say closer to Match)
Duke--Match
Northwestern--Match
Carnegie Mellon--Match</p>

<p>Does your predictions account for me getting a (hopefully) higher mark for the CR in the Jan SAT exam?
That plus my essays are pretty crud... It sounds so cheesy and fake</p>
