<p>Your stats seem pretty good - they’re definitely within range of all the schools you listed, but you must consider luck, essays and whatnot in the app process. You’re SATs and ECs are okay but not great. You seem to be a well rounded person and being Asian definitely doesn’t hurt - I’ve applied to UVA too! It’s one of my top choices!</p>
