<p>Her grades would do fine - if she was non-international. </p>

<p>It's 20x harder for a Singaporean to get in, honestly. >< </p>

<p>So... they'll all be high reaches for her, except for chicago or berkeley. Dartmouth would be slightly harder, and the other 3 much harder.</p>

<p>I thought ivies didn't care so much about internationals. All those schools are good and difficult to get into. But I think you definitely have a chance to get into any of them, none is out of reach.</p>

4

<p>good stats... and oh another rj kid haha..</p>

5

<p>all high reaches, being international is very tough. An international in need of financial aid is even worse.</p>

6

<p>^
but i thought she is only applying for need blind schools?
which doesnt lower her chances?</p>

7

<p>^ A lot of schools are need blind for US citizens, but not for internationals. The OP has decent stats, but international admission is very difficult.</p>

8

<p>I think when she said that she wanted to apply to need blind schools, she is talking about the international need blind schools.</p>

9

<p>I hope she applied to some safeties.</p>

10

<p>^ i think she is applying to Duke as safety. if i am not wrong.</p>

11

<p>^ there's no way duke's gonna be your friend's safety, especially if she is applying for aid. this coming from her rj senior who's also applying to duke</p>
