I take it that you are an international student (India) ?

What do you plan to study? Is cost a consideration?

I’m not sure that your grades are up to Ivy League standards. Further, your ECs may be a little weak in terms of leadership; at this point, you need to focus on quality over quantity.

Way too many of your choices are reaches (or hyper-reaches), as in all of the Ivies plus Duke and WUSTL; your chances of admission for them are low to very low. Pare down your list of reaches to 2 or 3; add more match schools.

You should be in decent shape for Grinnell, Drexel, and UT-Austin; probably Colgate also.

Isn’t this a double post?
