<p>Well you obviously know that your stats are perfect! :slight_smile: Great GPA and SAT scores…you’re pretty much maxed out there. Your ECs seem good, pretty strong, but you dont seem to have a lot of international/national awards which might hurt a bit (I know, I’m suffering from the same thing xD)
The fact that you’re an international sucks. Are you applying for FA? If you aren’t, that increases your chances quite a bit.
In/low reach at the last 6 schools you listed, high reach for the first 4 because you’re international and they’re crapshoots anyways…
Chance me back if you have time? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736548-chance-me-top-schools-ivies.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736548-chance-me-top-schools-ivies.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think in my case Harvard is easier than UChicago… I am definitely applying for aid. I think I have a decent amount of nat + int’l awards considering the international science fair, national french exam, and national chem olympiad. Does national merit count? Who knows how that compares. </p>

<p>My thing is definitely research + violin! Maybe with sprinkling of debate. </p>

<p>anyone else please?</p>

<p>I could appreciate some more opinions :)</p>
