<p>You definitely have a shot at all of your schools, but with a 3.56 UW you have some explaining to do through essays/interviews. That is, unless your rank is very high, and your school sends a bunch of people to top-tier schools. Being chinese may hurt you quite a bit, but I still think that you should get into at least one or two of your choices.</p>

<p>Btw, you listed Northeastern and BU as ‘backups’ – is this just another way to say safety, or do you really not wish to attend? The whole point of having a safety is for you to have a school you know you can get into that you’ll really like.</p>
