<p>Your personal statement is key. If you write a strong, strong personal statement…then you are an extremely qualified candidate for all of these schools. Your EC’s are strong. Plenty of community service, internship, and a varsity athlete. Sounds like the “best all around” type. But, I have to ask, what is your major of interest? Did your research reflect this?
Chance back please.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at Cornell and the ones below that level since you have really good academics and scores but like what the other person said, your essays and letters of rec and such have to be really good and stand out for Princeton and such. You have pretty good EC’s too but just not too much leadership either. And are you in any clubs? But other than that, you have pretty good chances at most of your choices.</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>I agree with several other replies here. Just put yourself out there with a flagship statement… you have good enough stats def for your colleges</p>

<p>Ivies are reaches for anyone, but your stats are amazing. I agree with the previous poster. Write a strong essay, line up your recs and your shot looks good. </p>

<p>You forgot to mention the school you attend - if it’s even remotely competitive, your grades are amazing.</p>

<p>Exceptional grades. ECs are not that great, but you’ll still have no problem getting into Cornell and the lower Ivies. The only definite reaches are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton. Others are low reach or matches and you shouldn’t even be asking about SUNY or any state school.</p>
