<p>I would say reach at all of the schools, except maybe a high match at NYU (CAS.)
Your ECs are good, but your SAT is too low.</p>

<p>How are your grades? (GPA)</p>

<p>^I agree with what intheair said.</p>

<p>Another thing: Change your SAT II Chinese test to something else. It’s pointless for you to take it and many top colleges don’t want language SATs of your native tongue.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t calculate GPA for us…But I got into top 5 for every subject I took, I hope it helps a bit in my application</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for helping!!!</p>
