<p>The only thing holding you back is that you’re top 15% of your class, and not higher. Still, with your test scores and your IB scores, I’d say NYU is a safety, Haverford is a safety, Berkeley and Cornell are matches. UChicago is a reach because of the rank, but don’t let that stop you. You obviously have great ECs and test scores, and if you write a killer essay, you can get there too.</p>

<p>I’d say your chances for all of the schools are pretty good. You have a great GPA, awesome standardized test scores, and good extra curricular activities. Out of the schools you listed, I think UChicago would be the most difficult to get into but definitely not out of reach for you.</p>
