Chances for Elite Schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi, I am an incoming senior. I am Asian (Indian) and I would like to know my chances of getting into the schools I have decided to apply to this year.

GPA: 3.86 UW and 4.36 W
Rank: 6/885
SAT: 2110 (780 M 650 CR 680 W- 70 MC 8 E)
SAT II: 800 chem 800 math lv 2
AP Classes:
Chemistry- 5 on exam
Calculus AB- 5
US History- 4
College now classes: (Queens college)
Sociology 101- A+
Urban Studies 101- A
Numerous Honor Classes and strong letters of Recommendation
Extracurriculars:
Varsity Golf for 3 years
Chess Club for 1 year
Red Cross for 1 year
Participant in the Rockefeller University C.Elegans Program (2014-2015)

My extracurriculars dont really stand out and I dont have my hopes up about being admitted into the elite schools, but I would still like to know how much of a shot I have.

Schools I am planning on applying to:

Columbia

Cornell

Hofstra

LIU

NYU

Princeton

St John’s University in Queens (Pharm.D)

Stanford

Caltech

Yale

I am also a NY resident if that helps. Also, do I have to include on my resume the years i participated in my clubs? Or can I omit the years of participation and just include the amount of time spent, such as 1 year or 2 years?

Columbia high reach
Cornell reach
Hofstra safety
LIU safety
NYU match
Princeton high reach
St John’s University in Queens (Pharm.D) safety
Stanford High reach
Caltech high reach
Yale high reach

You need fewer high reaches and more match schools.

Thank you @TomSrOfBoston
I will apply to Stony brook, Hunter, albany college of pharmacy, and Binghamton as well. Can I get a second opinion for someone else as well?

With that SAT and your UW GPA, you picked really high reaches. I agree with @TomSrOfBoston, where are your matches and safeties?
Your ECs look like you are stretching for something. The elites don’t want students that need to be in their dorm rooms, all day, studying. That what we were told. That’s why they like to see students with a few activities that show a passion.

I am really concerned with my chance for St johns because I heard the pharmacy program is highly selective. The college itself is not that hard to get into. Thank you both for the advice on the elite schools. I am pretty much decided on St johns pharmacy program but I don’t know if I’d get in with my weak extracurriculars
