You have an OK chance. Your SAT score is very good, but your ECs aren’t “unique”. Chance back?

Looks impressive. I think you have a great shot. Good luck

I think you have a decent chance at the Ivies. Good EC’s but not extraordinary. Write a stellar essay, and this would really help you.

Your chances are good as everyone said. Most of the schools you mentioned have holistic admission process so SAT scores and grades are just one part of the whole app. Your chances are the same as any top candidate. Try to be unique when you write your essays. Good luck!
