<p>What are my chances in the Ivy colleges and what do you suggest for me as I begin applying?</p>

<p>Wow what makes your application impressive is not your scores, but the fact that you did things that most asians don’t do, which makes you stand out in the pile. I honestly do not know which ivies you should look at, but I would say that you have a good shot at getting into at least a few.</p>

<p>You are a very strong applicant. There is not much else to say, you are defiantly in the running, now it is simply a matter of applying and seeing where you get in.</p>

<p>do you think i have a chance at any of HYPMS? also what are some of the things that I did that’s out of the norm for asians?</p>
