<p>I’d say Yale and Columbia are probably reach schools, and you have a decent shot at the other 3. </p>

<p>I don’t know how tennis rankings in Singapore compare to US, but I’m guessing you would be up there, so that definitely helps you for colleges. You’re other EC’s look good. The only thing is that I really can’t tell how you’ll look academically because there’s just not a lot of information there. Are you ranked highly in your school? The EC’s are definitely there though.</p>

<p>Hey, our school doesn’t do ranks but IB scores out of 45. It is also considered to be way harder than any AP classes. Also, my school is consistently within the top 10 international school in the world.</p>
