<p>All others are reach schools (for everybody).</p>

<ol>
<li>Try ED since you are not applying for financial aid.</li>
<li>Why not Wash U? It is a need aware college.</li>
<li>Include some LACs. They would like to have top Asian students.</li>
</ol>

Start your essays early and apply to many colleges.</p>
