You are just as qualified as anyone else applying to the Ivy league; you have a leg up over about 50% of people applying, but that still leaves you at an average acceptance rate of probably twenty. Nevertheless, your application is nearly flawless besides (I am being horribly picky because they don’t really scream “eco/FP”) ECs, and you’ll probably get into two at least, maybe many more. Just make sure you have a few good safeties, as there are tons of them out there for you. Good luck!

I’m no expert, but Ivies are super tough. They look more for a really good, holistic match than anything else. That being said, you’re qualifications are great. I’d say apply to your favorite school ED and really try and emphasize why you think you’re a great fit. Again, I’m not expert, just my .02
