<p>Harvard: Reach
Yale: Reach
Princeton:Reach
Columbia:Low Reach
Stanford: Low Reach
LSE: High match
Oxbridge: High match/Low reach
MIT: Reach
And btw MIT Sloan is an excellent school for management and economics.
What about UPenn and Duke? You will have an excellent shot there!</p>
<p>Harvard: reach
Yale: reach
Princeton: reach
Columbia: low reach
Stanford: reach
LSE: match
Cambridge/Oxford: match-high match
MIT: low reach</p>
<p>As you probably know, the top US schools are reaches for everyone. I do think you’ll get into at least half of the US schools but you never know. Your academic stats are near-perfect and your ECs show variety. </p>
<p>Be sure to add some backup US schools just in case. I’d suggest: UC Berkeley, Northwestern, Georegetown, and New York University.</p>
<p>US Ivies are hard to get into in the first place, and to make matters worse you’re international. That being said, you still have a good chance of making it into these colleges because they are reaches for everybody.</p>
