<p>colleges of interest: Harvard, princeton, columbia, yale, upenn, dartmouth, brown, williams, swarthmore, etc.</p>

<p>Looks pretty good. Try to boost the crit reading on the SATS. </p>

<p>As you know, the ivies and such are totally random...you should get into Brown with a legacy..</p>

<p>Klin, you have an excellent grades and rank plus very strong, focused ECs. Assuming your SATs follow suit you will definitely be of interest to all the colleges on your list.</p>

<p>I think you know, however, that there's no guarantee. I hope that you're planning to supplement that list of super and very selectives with a few matches and at least one very safe safety. Everyone needs to do this!</p>

<p>The big name schools are easy to identify and easy to love. The less selectives are harder to find and in many cases, less immediately loveable. </p>

<p>This is where you should concentrate in the next year: research, visit, get enthusiastic about some less selectives. This takes more time and energy than thinking about HYSPMAWS ETC but, believe me, it is the most important investment that you could make.</p>

<p>Good luck and let us know how it goes.</p>

<p>you present a very nice application, but just make sure you have an absolute safety, as all of the schools you listed are extremely difficult to get into, regardless of stats! good luck!</p>
