<p>Hello fellow asian… So I guess you are in the senior year…You got to maintain your 4.0 gpa first and take your SAT scores above 2300 for a safe chance of landing in ivies…But as we know ivies and most of the Top 20 universities have holistic admissions you have to really get into improving one of the ECs that interests you…Remember ECs showing your passion counts… But looking at your current stats…</p>

<p>HYPSM-High reach(for everyone)
Cornell-Low reach/Match if you maintain gpa
Dartmouth-Reach/Match
Brown-Match
Columbia-Low reach
Upenn-Match</p>

<p>You will have pretty good shot at NYU and other colleges above 10 rankings…So they are sort of matches…</p>
