<p>Hi CC, I don't have much time to type out all my stats right now so I'll give you the bare minimum. </p>

<p>Race: Asian
Gender: Male
Income Bracket: middle class
State: CA</p>

<p>SAT: Single Sitting: 2390 (800M, 800CR, 790W)
SAT2: Math 2 (760), US History (710), Physics (670 not reporting unless required)
GPA: 3.87/4 UW, 4.88/5 W
Rank: School doesn't rank. I'd put myself in top 10% of ~650 students
Class Rigor: Most of the highest level classes my school offers (10 AP, 9 Honors)
EC: Nationally ranked in High School Debate, finalist appearances for debate, lots of community service (800+ hours since freshman year), 2 leadership positions in the community/school, internship at law office</p>

<p>EDIT: Forgot schools (dumb me)
-HYPS

<p>@crazyhappy - you’re a strong candidate, thus you have a chance at all of them. Whether you get accepted or not at any given school will be a mix of luck and how your essays, recommendations, and interview make you stand out from similar candidates in the applicant pool. I would assume you’re a shoe-in for the UCs.</p>

<p>All Ivies, Georgetown and Stanford are all reaches, but your stats looks good, so go ahead & try…</p>

<p>Georgetown will look at 3 SAT subject tests, so you might want to get all three over 730 to be more competitive.</p>

<p>If you can produce stellar essays, then you will surely get into one of the ivies(Brown Cornell Upenn perhaps). Harvard, Stanford and Princeton are reaches for everyone.However you may stand a good chancce at all three of them
Advice: I think it’s great that you aren’t a total nerd. HYPS typically reject lack lustre kids with 4.0 GPA’s .Your SAT’s are unbelievable. If you can , retake USH and Physics.
Please try and convey the emotion and motive behind what you did(as visible in your activity list). That usually works
Oh and Best of Luck!</p>
