<p>Personal Thoughts:
Strengths: Course Load/Level, SATIIs, solid concentrated EC's
Weaknesses: SATI/ACT, Major Awards, Ethnicity, W GPA</p>
<p>Also for schools that take Ethnicity into account, does being Japanese have a slight advantage than being the main stream Chinese/Indian?</p>
<p>I know Stanford is most likely a no,
but Berkeley I might have a slight chance</p>
<p>Please let me know what you think!</p>
