<p>You have a very good chance with what you have. Being black is just the kicker. One area that could use improvement though is your ACT score. 32 is decent, but Ivies are the cream of the crop.</p>

<p>I am very impressed by your application; the fact that you can speak Hindi and Marathi put a smile on my face cause I'm half-white/half-Indian and can speak fluent Hindi as well as Punjabi. Anyway I would say in at a majority of those colleges maybe toss up at HYP but I'd still say you can pull of one of those. My only two suggestions are: 1) Get a slightly higher ACT score 33+ will lock into every one of those minus HYP and 2) write monster essays/recomendations. Good Luck!</p>
