<p>Great upward trend and awesome SAT. I think you have a great chance at all those schools, but the Ivies are never a sure thing for anyone. JHU - I’m almost positive you’re in. The fact that you’re a prep school kid doesn’t hurt either ;]</p>

3

<p>EC’s and Awards are outstanding</p>

<p>You should definitely get into one of HYPS</p>

<p>I’m going to say yes. You’re almost exactly like my brother, who applied as an international student from South Korea and was accepted in to Columbia Engineering. We did get our permanent residency cards like two months ago though. :P</p>

<p>My brother had a 2320 SATI, 800 Math II, 780 Bio, 780 Chem. GPA, rigor, and rank is practically the same. Your ECs aren’t as strong as his, but he didn’t go very far with music, besides being the usual first chair cellist of his school orchestra. </p>

<p>HYPSM is a crapshoot no matter how brilliant you are, but you do have a solid chance. And for the rest of them, I’d be shocked to see you rejected.</p>

<p>as above great shot have a couple of state schools just to be sure chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1082453-chance-me-universitys.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1082453-chance-me-universitys.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Hey Calvin. I know most of the Koreans that got into Columbia Engineering. Does he go to a prep schoo? If yes, I probably know him.</p>
