<p>Your EC’s are solid, and you have excellent academics and a great GPA/rank. Your SAT is pretty decent, but if you think you can retake and do better you might want to do that. It’s a little late to do more clubs. I would focus on emphasizing the ones you love/did for all 4 years, and you need some fantastic recs and essays. However, your ethnicity might hurt you because a lot of indians/asians are in college or in ivies. BUT being a woman who wants to do science will probably help you a lot, especially with scholarships. </p>
<p>UVA - in
Duke (possibly ED) - in/low reach
VCU (guaranteed medical school) - never heard of it/ probs in
NC state - in
Georgia Tech - ? probs in
Case Western - ? probs in
Virginia Tech - in
Cornell - mid reach
UPenn - high reach</p>
<p>Chance me too? My post is: Chance a worried URM for Ivies and other schools?
Good luck! I hope you get in to all your schools!</p>
<p>The only thing I can think of that it seems you could improve outside the SAT is to get some more leadership but you still have great academics and ECs and the test scores are good. Right now heres how i see your chances:</p>
