<p>I would say those are all reaches. They are reaches for everyone with SATs and ACTs of at least 2050 and 30 respectively. If you write a good essay, you will be fine.
Chance me?

<p>class rank?</p>

<p>Our school doesn’t give out class rank, but I would estimate at around the top 5% probably.</p>

<p>Dude, your scores are solid. A 1590/1600 composite on your first test is very impressive, and don’t worry about writing, because most schools superscore which gives you like a 2320 overall. So academically you don’t need to worry much. Your ECs are weak, try to get some leadership positions to show stronger commitment. For an applicant like you who is applying from an extremely competitive asian applicant pool (i know it sucks I am too), a lot will come down to your essays and recs. With solid essays, glowing recs, and a strong app you have a good shot at any of these schools. Also if you are a NY resident, consider applying to one of the state-schools within Cornell, because you may have a better chance at acceptance, and you don’t have to pay the full tuition.
So my take on your chances:
Columbia-Reach
UPenn (assuming it’s CAS not wharton)/Cornell-Slight Reach</p>

<p>Good luck I’m sure you’ll get into a great school.</p>
