<p>It is not out of the question - your stats look pretty good, but please realize that Ivy League schools are a long shot for everyone and anyone. Be sure you find a few safety schools you can be happy with and don’t let getting into an Ivy define who you are. </p>

<p>Don’t write about being or formally being a perfectionist - pretentious.</p>

<p>agree with above poster, sounds like a risky topic. Cornell would be a match, other 2nd tier ivies would be low reaches (your gpa is very low for an Asian), and the top ivies would be mid-high reaches as they’d be reaches even with a perfect gpa. </p>

<p>Less competitive Ivy leaguers would be very high matches/low reaches in my opinion–schools like Cornell or maybe Dartmouth. As far as Harvard/Yale, they are high reaches for everyone.
