Both are reaches for you and every applicant.

No way to chance since as stated above ^^^ they are Reach schools for every applicant. Apply and Good Luck.

Well you have AMAZING scores, honors, and awards! You have a chance. But honestly, Ivy Leagues are unpredictable. Even the best students have a chance of being rejected. But you should definitely apply. :slight_smile:

The only glitches I can see are your low scores in 9th and 10th grade.
If you don’t mind, which app did you build that got over 50k downloads. That’s seriously impressive!

Best of luck!- from just another naive applicant from India…

@STEMdude
The 4 apps I built have 50k downloads combined. Can’t tell you the name becuase it would lead to the disclosure of my identity.
