Recs and essays were all very solid

Your ECs are insane but your SAT score and geographical location will probably hurt you. I’d guess you have a 60-70% chance

Sorry to counter any advice. But at a 20 percent acceptance rate expected this year, very few students have a 60 percent chance. And RD will be more selective. Perhaps a 15 to 18 percent rate. That’s 8 out of 10 don’t get great news. But some do and it could certainly be any one application that stands out.

The good news is you have a wonderful profile and have been super successful. Apply to a good selection and you will have wonderful options.

Ya, I was probably overstating it. I do think they have a really good shot though if all of these ECs (ex: establishing a homeless shelter) are true
