Any other Ivies I might have a better chance getting into?
I'm also looking at liberal arts schools like Amherst and Williams.</p>

<p>Great ACT score, and pretty good SAT II scores (though that Chinese score won’t help if you’re ethnically Chinese.) Do you have any hooks? A lot of your extracurriculars seem to be, for the lack of a better term, “typically Asian”. </p>

<p>For Dartmouth, I would say you have a better chance than you think you do… I’d say low to mid reach because of the SAT score. Your extracurriculars might drag you down a bit though. </p>

<p>Wash U I would say low reach. Low reach to high match for the other schools you mentioned. </p>

<p>Consider adding Cornell to the list of schools you are planning on applyin gto.</p>

<p>Chance back?
