<p>Just mention you did TV tours with Glen Beck and you are a lock at HYPS…</p>

<p>So you have only taken one AP class in 3 years? That could be big concern…</p>

3

<p>Do you have SAT IIs? You’re nowhere without them?</p>

4

<p>You’ve got a good chance (I am assuming you took at least 3 SAT II’s and got 700+ on each as well as a few AP’s) at all schools. All are reaches, though, but you can still get in them.</p>

<p>Wow, awesome EC’s!
I would take 3 SAT IIs of course (required for applications; 2 is usual but some places like Princeton require 3) and you should definitely see what other APs you can take to demonstrate your ability to handle several college courses.
I would also do more community service work.</p>

<p>Well, I don’t believe Indian/Asians are considered URMs; if anything, Asians tend to be considered Over-represented minorities, and I’m sure the same is true of Indians.</p>

<p>I think your GPA is a little low in general, what with only one AP course… SAT I is great. You need to take two or three SAT IIs as mentioned before. Your ECs are decent.</p>

<p>I would say you can probably count on Cornell and Dartmouth as high matches.</p>

<p>Everything else is going to be difficult to get into without some more of the above. I would say no off the bat to Harvard, Princeton, and MIT. </p>

<p>The other ones? Can’t tell until your SAT IIs, I think.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Asian Indians are not URM my friend, plenty of them are at HYPSM so they are ORM which significantly decreases your chances</p>

<p>Good SAT, ok GPA, the lack of AP might hurt you</p>

<p>good EC</p>

<p>HYPSM is a toss up, cant say for sure
Brown- probably in
Dartmouth- probably
Cornell- probably</p>

<p>I would say 1-2/5 will accept you from HYPSM and 2/3 will accept you from other ivies</p>

8

<p>Don’t forget to have at least 1 safety school, though. You’ll probably get in at least 2 of the schools you posted, but this is just to be safe.</p>

<p>^Amazing EC’s, great scores, low GPA, I’m sure you’ll get into at least 2-4 of the schools on your list. Good luck!</p>
