<p>I am applying to: Brown, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, Northwestern, Princeton, WUSTL, Yale
Any opinions are appreciated; I think my main weakness is lack of ECs? I have a huge weight in my stomach, and I'm genuinely scared about the future for me. Please let me know if you need anything else to make a better assessment, and thanks for any insight.</p>

<p>Aren't you the quintessential Chinese boy? lol don't worry I'm like that too with my EC's</p>

<p>Brown - low reach
Cornell - low reach
Duke - reach
Harvard - high reach cause it's, well, Harvard
Northwestern - high match
Princeton - reach
WUSTL - reach (they like their ED's a lot...so not much room for RD's sadly)
Yale - reach</p>

<p>Chance me in return?

<p>Haha, it really looks that way doesn't it? I'm hoping my essays will help me get in; I really focused on getting into Irish/Celtic fiddling in my Common App Essay; I'd think it's not every day you encounter an Asian fiddler.</p>

<p>Also, does low reach mean it's NOT such a reach? Because after being rejected SCEA (I know it was a slaughter, but still), I'm really worried about the strength of my applications.</p>
