<p>Oooo, what a nicely organized post! Anyhoo…</p>
<p>comments: The internship is great. Your community service seems sort of stuck on giving money to diseases in some fashion (besides tutoring, which is required by NHS anyways), which should be good because it’s pretty in-depth on that but you don’t seem to have any other hints on your want to cure diseases. Your ECs are pretty good too. Taking the FBLA from zero to hero looks amazing- shows you’re a true leader. Your awards are all fantastic. SAT I isn’t super-duper high, and your SAT IIs could use some work. The ranking is really good (the Ivys just wet themselves over valedictorians/salutatorians), as is your GPA. </p>
<p>advice: About the volunteering issue, try some services that make a change now and today, things that’s more about helping the victim first-hand, like volunteering at a hospital or a soup kitchen. Take over some SAT IIs or try some in a different subject, like Chinese (which you are obviously good at, but then again you are Asian so it won’t be super impressive if you get in the high 700s, esp. if you speak it at home).</p>
<p>chances:
Yale: it’s always iffy whether or not to say you’re in at Yale and Harvard, but I say you have a fairly good chance
UC Berkeley: accepted (won’t say it’s definite, but you’re likely in)
UCLA: definitely accepted
I honestly don’t know much about Emory or Duke, so I won’t rate you there.)
Princeton: pretty good chance
Brown: most likely in
Penn: most likely</p>
<p>if you’d be so kind:
