<p>Your ranking and grades are excellent, your scores are decent too. As well as you have tons of leadership positions. you also show a passion for chess which is a plus.
I think every school is a match except for princeton, amherst, and williams. sometimes you never know with those schools, they are never a match for anyone. but other than that, i think you have at least an 80 percent chance of getting in to the other schools. Good luck!</p>
<p>UChicago - low reach (RD acceptance rate will be around 12%, so it could be a bit of a crapshoot compared to EA)
Dartmouth - low reach
Wash U - match
Amherst - high match
Williams - high match
Penn - low reach
NYU Stern - high match
Princeton - reach</p>
<p>as you’ve requested… i’m returning the chance!</p>
<p>UChicago - match… (i’m from the midwest. And I know they’re really number orientated, and you have the numbers to say the least)
Dartmouth - low reach (essays count! <strong>speed read “A is for Admission” it’s a really fast read, and the former director of admissions for dartmouth is the author - there are many dartmouth specific tips in there</strong>)
Wash U - match
Amherst - Low reach
Williams - match
UPenn - Low reach
NYU Stern - higher match
Princeton - reach… no need for ****s and giggles if you play your cards right (super essays) you’re an above average candidate</p>
<p>UChicago- high match
Dartmouth- high match
Wash U- match
Amherst- match
Williams- match
UPenn- low reach
NYU Stern- match
princeton- high high reach</p>
<p>Shoot everything you got looks crazy (high i mean), all of these schools seem within reach for sure. Most of it seems like luck though seeing these schools are the unpredictable ones as well though.</p>
<p>On a scale of 1-10
UChicago -8
Dartmouth - 7
Wash U - 8
Amherst - 8
Williams - 8
Penn - 9
NYU Stern - 8
Princeton - 6 (can never guess)</p>
<p>You’re just as qualified as every top-tier applicant, soooooooo you wanna make sure your essays/recs are really good to make you stand out plus, being 1 in 1000000 asian applicants doesn’t really help either (i’m asian too… it sucks, right) & the ivies are just weird, no one knows who will get in. as for the lacs, you have a good shot with all your ec’s :D</p>
<p>Colleges:
UChicago - reach
Dartmouth - low reach
Wash U - match
Amherst - low reach
Williams - reach (REALLY competitive)
UPenn - low reach
NYU Stern - low reach
Princeton - reach</p>
<p>goodluck!</p>

<p>Like a lot of the other posters have said, just make your essays stellar. The Ivies are a crapshoot for us all, but as for the rest on a scale of 1-10:</p>
<p>UChicago - 7
Dartmouth - 7
Wash U - 8/9
Amherst - 8/9
Williams - 8/9
UPenn - 7
NYU Stern - 9/10
princeton - erm…it could be either 1 or 10, really. One never knows.</p>
<p>UChicago: Low Reach/ High Match
Dartmouth: Low Reach
Wash U: In
Amherst: Match
Williams: Match
Penn: Low Reach
NYU Stern: Match
Princeton: Reach</p>
<ul>
<li>Ivies are a reach for everyone, keep your fingers crossed =]</li>
</ul>
<p>UChicago: low reach (more difficult since RD)
Dartmouth: reach
Wash U: high match
Amherst: low reach
Williams: low reach
Penn: reach
NYU Stern: high match

Your SAT II’s and rank are outstanding. your SAT’s are good but a little low for princeton and dartmouth, but they are certainly not a dealbreaker. Pretty good chances at all, you’ll get into quite a few of them. Good Luck.</p>
<p>For those applicants who are not recruited athletes or legacies, Amherst and Williams are extremely harder to get in that most people think, the admission rate (usually a little bit higher than Dartmouth/Brown) does not tell the reality.</p>
<p>I live in MA, I know some highly competitive high schools havent been able to send even one student in recent years to Williams, a very few admitted to Amherst usually are recruited athletes. </p>
<p>Admission to Amherst/Williams is very unpredictable even with very stellar statistics; they just dont have the spaces, they are reach for everyone.</p>
plus, being 1 in 1000000 asian applicants doesn’t really help either (i’m asian too… it sucks, right) & the ivies are just weird, no one knows who will get in. as for the lacs, you have a good shot with all your ec’s :D</p>
