I’m an Asian-Canadian male student studying in Canada. I’m in quite a decent socio-economic part of my city, although my family can be considered standard middle class. I’m in my junior year and am planning to apply for American universities in the autumn/winter of next year. I’ve got my eye on Ivy League, Pomona, Caltech, Stanford, and UC. I am thinking about a major in physics, mathematics, or business. Financial aid from the schools I’m applying to is very important.

I’m in my junior year, so many of my achievements are hypothetical. I’ve tried my best to be fair and accurate, and I feel that most of them will be true by the time of my application next year.
So, what are my chances?
Thanks!
