Thanks to anyone who responds, I mostly want to get into Rice University, so if you could only give me chances for only one school I would like it to be for that.
AMAZING stats! I’d say you have a chance of ~8-9 at all these schools, maybe 8.5? Have you considered Brown? They have great programs in Music and business.
Your stats are high average; however, your ECs are relatively weak. Your low-income background could help supplement this. I would consider applying under other majors since you have virtually no prior computer science experience and it is the most competitive major for Asian males at top schools.
Very low chances at MIT, Caltech, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia
Average chances at Brown, Dartmouth
Average to slightly above average chances at Cornell, Rice
