<p>Feel like I have some things going for me, but I am worried that my ECs are too varied and will prevent me from having a single storyline in my application. Also, with music being my main EC, not submitting a music supplement worries me.</p>

<p>For Ivies, there’s no way to say for sure with your stats. Your grades/SAT are good, but average compared to everyone else who applies. The legacies should help though, especially at Harvard. </p>

<p>UChicago/Rice/Carnegie- Match, you have good grades and at least two strong extracurrics, you should be fine on this. </p>

<p>Stanford- Reach, without the music supplement your chances aren’t too high for this, but you could luck out.</p>

<p>Also, you said music was your main EC but your film production work experience/EC is pretty impressive as well</p>

<p>Legacy and full pay might help and you are not an Asian.</p>

<p>Standford: Reach but legacy might help
Chicago: Reach</p>

<p>Cornell: Solid chances
UCs: Most likely in at all of them
CMU: Decent chances
Rice: Decent chances</p>
