<p>I’m going to respectfully disagree with the person above me. You have few to no long term ECs and some of the ones you named are not that legitimate (Purim carnival? seriously? I guess I set up my local sukkah as well, but I don’t put that as an EC). Poor rank doesn’t help you either. All the ivies + MIT + chicago are very high reaches, and I don’t know much about the state schools. High Match at Brandeis and Vandy, low reach at WashU. Sorry if it seems harsh, but I just try to give my best analysis. Good luck with your college applications!</p>

<p>Standardized test score is average for all of the top schools. GPA outside of 10% makes the ivies nearly impossible since only max 5% outside of top 10 get in at most (hooks, URM, athletes etc) The ECs dont really help either as the only solid one is community service since the rest are quite minor or have lack of commitment.
That being said, you may get lucky at a top school with stellar essays. However, I recommend finding more realistic reaches and adding a few targets to the list

<p>why would hearing impairment matter? would it be a hook if i have myopia? no, i can just supplement it with prescription glasses.</p>

<p>also, stop spamming the forums with impetuous comments to refer your link.</p>
