<p>Damn, I wish I had some of the accomplishments and grades that you’ve managed over the past four years…</p>

<p>Low reach for CAS, I’d like to say. Probably not far from High match at all, to be honest, but just to be slightly conservative…</p>

<p>PS: On the racial issue: “multiracial” is good news for you, and its nice to see people from a diverse varied background (and to deal with the “where are you from?” game) as well (I have such a background). This interesting background should help you out in the applicant process, as I doubt even the asian ethnicity will count against you. </p>

<p>Best of luck! Chance back if you feel? (same college, same school, same admissions plan. Less a likely to get in)
