<p>You have an excellent chance! You have some nice ECS, GREAT test scores, and a solid GPA! Just as everyone, you have crossed the thresholds and as long as you distinguished yourself in your essays, had good recs, etc. I’d say you can expect AT LEAST a nice thick acceptance letter from at least one ivy :slight_smile: </p>

<p>You sound like you know your weaknesses - ECs.
Numbers are all in line with Harvard so you’re fine on that aspect.
Ivies are hard to predict but I think you stand a great chance.

<p>May or may not have committed the highly unethical act of reading my LoRs (primary two from Eng teacher and Sci), and they were pretty glowing. Not sure about guidance (had her only for a few months, and she doesn’t exactly love me) or my 3rd teacher (used only for a few schools, I think it’s good)</p>

<p>You have a really good chance numberwise!
But since so many of those schools are crap shoots :frowning: you never know what they’re looking for… and they just might reject you.
They’re all low to mid reaches, so you should get accepted to quite a few. However, just to be safe, apply to a few safeties.
Counselor recs are pretty important, but as long as they don’t suck you should be fine.

<p>I’ll confirm what others are saying. Due to the number of other highly competitive apps from students who have a lot of leadership, awards, research, etc. the ivy route looks very difficult. Probably NW is your best shot in terms of top 20, but others are not ruled out. Given your decent scores and med experience, you’ll likely see some interview letters coming in.</p>

<p>Great scores are definitely in the range for the top 20… great for ivies like Cornell, Dartmouth… of course it’s a stretch for everyone for Harvard/Yale. Your ECs aren’t extraordinary but compliment your GPA and scores nicely. I think you’ll do great.
