<p>You counselor should mention in his/her recommendation that your valedictorian only achieved a 92. Brush up on your SAT 2 scores (esp. the 740 Math and the 770 Chinese because ~40% of people taking the CL w/ Listening test gets 800).</p>

<p>Otherwise, nothing really outstanding to bring you above the masses applying to Harvard, Yale and Penn-Wharton (and to a much(?) lesser degree, Brown and Berkeley (since you are out of state)). I suppose you do have a shot there, but I won't consider you "in" by these stats alone. As for the other schools on your list, I'd say you have a good chance at getting in them. :)</p>
