<p>With those stats you can go almost anywhere. Ivys aren't out of the question but your EC's aren't "outstanding" so I don't know about those. Your stats are a match for some very good universities depending on what you want to go into (Duke, Vanderbilt, UCLA...etc.) Nice stats and good luck!</p>

<p>Haha thanks. My family follows the Chinese mentality of "B = failure."</p>

<p>bump bump bump.</p>

<p>hmmm. your stats remind me...of mine. good math ec's but kinda low on the rest. i think Caltech would be good for you, cuz its a very challenging environment, and they dont care TOO much about ec's.</p>
