Hi! I am currently a junior in high school. My grades have taken a huge slide after getting involved with some of the wrong people last year and over the summer and a bit this year but I do still have a lot of ECs and good test scores. This is probably going to be a long profile so if you read it all and reply, thank you very much!
PLEASE NOTE: I am an ASIAN MALE. This means affirmative action works strongly against me. Please take that into account while analyzing my profile and stuff.
Schools I’m interested in and would like to know my chances for:
NYU
Cornell
Purdue (Engineering)
UIUC (Engineering)
UMiami
UFlorida
Boston College
American University
UT Austin (Engineering)
Texas A&M (Engineering)
UCLA
Rensselaer
UNC
UVA
Georgia Tech
UMass Amherst (Safety)
It’s a lot of schools, I know, and you don’t have to do them all for me, just a few per reply is fine if you don’t have the time!

This may sound arrogant, but all my teachers do love me and I am confident I will get exemplary letters of rec. Sorry if that sounded arrogant

Again, may sound arrogant sorry in advance, I am a very good writer and I believe my college essays will also be top notch
That’s all! If you’ve read this far, thank you! Again, don’t feel pressured to chance me for all the colleges I listed, just a few each will be sufficient. And also again, keep in mind that I am ASIAN so affirmative action works against me. Thanks, and have a nice day!
