<p>Thanks for the chance! :)</p>

<p>Overall, your stats are really impressive. Ethnicity isn’t exactly going to be a plus, but your geographic region most likely will. With regards to your SAT, I suggest perhaps taking it once more (not that your score isn’t already great) to bring up the Writing score. Depending on what you are interested in pursuing, you should sharpen your interests. For instance, if I was interested in international law, I’d join the local organizations related to that in my school (Mock Trial, Model United Nations) and then expand to other community organizations. I didn’t see what field you were interested in, but if it’s something science-y, you might want to have a few more ECs/experiences that show that. That aside, your AP exams and scores are ridiculous. Your volunteering should be a big plus, because it’ll show leadership in a good cause, etc. (I’m sure you know this already). </p>

<p>Now, out of a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest: </p>

<p>Emory: 10 - this is a safety, right? Someone of your caliber will def. get in.
Boston: 9.5 - College or University? You’ll still probably get into either one.
Brown: 7
Columbia: 7 - they’re really into the whole “holistic approach” thingy. Make your essays brilliant here, and don’t wait until the last minute, like I did. And if you get an interview, make sure you know why you want to go the school–I didn’t, and when the guy asked me, my answer was AWKWARD.
Yale: 5.5
Stanford: 4 - this school is just nasty when it comes to acceptances
MIT: 4 - your chance might be higher if you ace your interview and sharpen the focus of your ECs
Harvard: 4 - this is for just about everybody.</p>

<p>All reaches except for Emory and Boston. But for all those Ivy Leagues, (and I feel like I’m saying this over and over) it’s the essays that count. If you can tie your entire (very qualified) app with a splendid essay that really shows the adcoms your passions and strengths, then you’re good to go.</p>

<p>Just try to raise your SAT scores at least a little. You are a junior so there is plenty of time to add more things to boost your application. Maybe you should consider taking the ACT as well. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Emory shouldn’t be hard at all. Boston (college or university) is going to be a safety for you. You’re ECs are great and you got great stats: 5 APs BEFORE your junior year. As for SATs, taking them again is COMPLETELY optional. I think you should take it one more time in March (when only the SAT is offered) If you don’t improve, forget about it, because you already have a 700+ on each section, which is what really matters.Your biggext worries now are SAT IIs, APs, and IBs. Good luck.</p>
