<p>Yeah your grades and SATs are less than amazing, and your ECs don’t really stand out much. I’d give you no chance at Columbia, NYU and BU are reaches, and the others are all realistic. </p>

<p>I’m assuming you’re Asian because of the AP Chinese? That’s not going to help with your acceptance to be honest. The sad fact is that affirmative action makes it harder for Asians to get in, neutral for whites, and easier for blacks, Hispanics, and other URMs</p>

<p>Looks like no dice at Columbia and NYU.
BU will be a stretch.
In at the other places.
Sorry, really low GPA and really low CR score.</p>
