<p>Your obviously competitive for all schools. They are all high reaches though. Your Harvard legacy will help. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback, Tinny!</p>

<p>It honestly all depends on your essays and letters or rec. At this point you are as competitive as anyone. Those essays/letters will probably be a large determinant to your acceptance. Good luck!</p>

<p>Need more ECs.</p>

6

<p>You are missing your SAT2 scores.</p>

<p>ECs are quite good, especially your volunteering and interning at the Labs and your academics are strong as well (great SAT!). You are certainly competitive and the legacy will help at both schools. Take time on your essay and get good recs and you have a decent chance.</p>

<p>awesome lab e.c.s and solid gpa and stats. I would say they are all reaches but you will most likely get into at least 3 or 4 at the minimum I think. Congrats on all the hard work!</p>
