Chance for Yale SCEA, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, etc.

<p>Well sd6, a lot of your app is annoyingly Asian, but a lot of it is also somewhat uncommon for Asians. Yale SCEA is rather cut throat, and silverturtle is sure to beat you out on it. SATs/ACTs are fine, and of course, so is your rank and GPA. </p>

<p>Yale SCEA- I’d say reach, it’s not uncommon for Yale, and Yale SCEA to receive candid and near perfect apps. Nevertheless, you have a fight.
Columbia- A reach, again, but I’d say better chances here than Yale.
Johns Hopkins- Almost a low reach, I’d go as far as saying you’re in here (their biochem program and pre-med are competitive though, so hard to say)
UPenn- Reach, but it tips to your favor
Harvard- …
MIT- One of the most Asian-invasion prone schools around, I’d say a reach, but wouldn’t count too heavily on this one.</p>

<p>Cornell- I’m sorry, you just don’t fit the overall Renaissance men and women they’re looking for here (e.g. EB White, Andy Bernard, Bill Nye the Science Guy, random handymen, 41 noble prize winners, etc.). Cornell is on its league, a league which you will only be able to watch from miles away in crowded city in Columbia. (of course this is an inside joke CCers, I’d like to say nearly in/low reach here as well, esp. at CAS or w.e. school is funded by the state of NY).</p>

<p>Pretty good chances (mostly reaches to low reaches) at other t25 schools as well.</p>
