Going to a private school</p>
<p>Your EC’s are a little weak, because they seem to all be in the same field. If it wasn’t for that, I would say that you are a strong applicant to all these schools.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t the ECs being in the same field be a good thing to show she has clear interests and is not doing activities just to make her application look good? To me, having a few ECs that you obviously care a lot about looks better than doing a million just to impress a school. But I don’t know a lot about how admissions to top schools works.</p>
<p>You have a good shot, but your ECs do not seemed focused on what you want to major in. You do not seem to have many scientific ECs like an internship or research. Good shot though. Good luck!</p>
<p>Since writing is your strength, write good essays which will help. I think you have good STATS, your application will be given utmost attention by all these schools, but we are talking about YPS, nobody can chance you for these schools.</p>
<p>Do you think it would benefit me to do a few chemistry-related ECs? Where I live, it’s extremely difficult for girls to get jobs/internships ANYWHERE (in fact, it’s technically not allowed), unless you can do so through a parent.</p>
