<p>Why no AP/IB classes? I think that you should narrow your choices down to something less broad then “the top 20 schools in the US” to get better chance me threads as well. All of those schools are very different than each other and each look for different qualities in people. </p>

<p>^ Some schools only offer AP to senior. In addition, OP has taken college level courses. So I don’t think the course rigor is an issue.
The EC is good and the SAT scores too. The only weakness is in GPA. UMich would be a high match from OOS, the rest would be reaches as usual.</p>

<p>Everything you have looks great, but like I am sure you know Ivy’s and their equivalents are usually reaches for anyone, what I have been doing is looking for schools that have stellar programs for my major instead of schools that are notoriously just good at everything. Could you chance me? “very curious about my chances? good range but need some recommendations for schools to look at” is the title</p>
