<p>You have a great class rank, perfect SAT II and ACT scores. Your ECs have some fluff yet are overall pretty good. Remember, you can only put 7 ECs on the common app so beware. Also, I advise you to only list your best awards, 15th place is not going to be seen as that impressive. I think you'll get into at least 3 of HYPSM and all your other schools (assuming you write good UChi essays) </p>

<p>Please chance me at:

You’re going to have a hard time standing out to colleges among the throngs of other asians with almost identical stats.</p>

<p>I agree. But u know, you could be better than the rest. Be the most asian of the asians.</p>

<p>I am sorry but you’re just another Asian. You have to somehow stand out. I dun see that yet. Maybe it’ll be in your essay</p>
