<p>Oh sorry, here are my schools:</p>

<p>Harvard
Columbia
Johns Hopkins
Yale
Duke
Chicago
Michigan
Penn</p>

<p>I picked these schools to guage my competitiveness.</p>

3

<p>Your nationality will help you a lot.
In at JH, Duke, Chicago, Michigan, Penn.
depends on your luck at the rest (I'm guessing that your nationality will get you into one of those).</p>

4

<p>Im sorry, I think i may have mislead you. I have Bangladeshi heritage but im an American/Canadian cizitzen. Does the advantage still apply? I really hope so.</p>

5

<p>bangledeshi gives URM status? I didn't know that...</p>

<p>Well if you are an URM, great chances everywhere</p>

<p>If not, still good chances....some of your EC's are quite random and just look like filler, but your Olympiad participations balances it out</p>

6

<p>Honestly, I had no idea that being Bangladeshi was an advantage. One of my reasonably-qualified Bangladeshi friends got into Harvard, so it seems reasonable.</p>

7

<p>In everywhere.</p>

8

<p>bump.</p>

<p>anybody else care to contribute? maybe some reach/safety analysis? I would really appreciate it.</p>

9

<p>this is a lil' of topic but I'm American/Canadian too. I was born in Edmonton, Alberta. I consider myself "Ghanaiadian" since my native country is Ghana.....</p>

<p>If your research goes extremely!!!!!!!!! well, I believe you would have a shot any where. From what I've gathered , admissions are soo unpredicatable that if you have the funds you might as well apply too all the schools you have seriously considered.</p>

<p>from the looks of thing Chicago and Duke are for sure everywhere else..ionno</p>

<p>You've got a legitimate shot everywhere, depending on if you can write a great essay.
With the looks of it now, you're 100% in at Michigan.</p>

11

<p>jesus those stats are good. EC's are also impressive. i agree with others you have a good chance at all those schools but it's a crapshoot so just pray for some acceptances here and there. best of luck.</p>

12

<p>thanks for the contributions. uggghhghhg i wish i had concentrated more on ECs.</p>

13

<p>dude chill ure set</p>

14

<p>haha okay thanks. but a percent analysis or reach/match/safety analysis would still be greatly appreciated.</p>

15

<p>by the way, i just got AP results back. will those be a factor at all?</p>

<p>Old:
Chem 5
Euro 5</p>

<p>New:
Bio 5
Calc 5
Lang 5

<p>AP test scores never factor admission; just college credit.</p>

<p>This depends on the school. However, they can never hurt if the school has a place for them on the application. For example, Columbia has a spot for AP scores on their app...</p>

<p>How does Bengladeshi get you URM status? What does Pakistani get you, just curious?</p>

18

<p>im not sure that it does get you URM status. if it did, i would be incredibly relieved. i have my doubts.</p>

19

<p>That's what I don't understand. If URM literally means URM, then anyone besides Indian, Arab, and Oriental would get you URM status.</p>
