<p>Jesus dude you’re loaded…Your chances are definitely high for all of them IMO with the exception of UChicago, Carnegie, and pretty much every IVY you’re applying for. Most people who apply there probably have applications that have the same caliber if not better than what you have. And the admissions process, who on earth knows?</p>

<p>People always say you need a 2400 gpa, have a 4.0 ga, 8908098 awards to get into an IVY but there is a senior at my school who had a 2160 SAT, 3.6 GPA and still got in, and he didnt really win any major awards like the USAMO or Intel or Siemens (he was an extremely good violinist, however).</p>

<p>Your chances are good with all besides the Ivys and UChicago and Carnegie. </p>

<p>Ivies, Stanford, Chicago mostly have acceptance rates <10%. They’re naturally reaches, but you have a pretty good shot. Are you doing CAS or Wharton for Penn?</p>

5

<p>Wharton for Penn</p>

6

<p>CAS has a 12ish% accept rate, whereas Wharton’s is as low as HYPS I think. I think you’ll get in everywhere else that’s not an Ivy, Stanford, or Chicago.</p>

7

<p>As long as you don’t need financial aid, you might be okay.</p>

8

<p>Pretty good shot at most schools</p>

9

<p>You definitely have a pretty good shot!!!</p>

10

<p>Bumpity bumpity bump bump bump</p>

<p>I hate to be the downer but I think you’re going to have a very rough time with a lot of these top universities. First of all, they’re difficult to get into as is. But then factor in that you’re an international applicant with a lower SAT score than the majority of your international applicant peers - now it’s gotten even harder. Then if you’ve applied for financial aid, well gosh darn you’ve got yourself a high reach application. Ultimately expect mixed results:</p>

<p>Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, Chicago - high reach
Berkeley - reach
Stern, Ross, USC - low reach
CMU - high match/low reach
Indiana, UIUC - match</p>
