<p>These colleges are so prestigious that it’s pretty hard to say. That said, you’re a great candidate and your chances are decent for all these colleges. The problem is, most people who apply to these colleges are also great candidates.
My one note would be that while your ECs and awards are very strong (stronger than mine for sure), they are somewhat scattered and it’s hard to tell what your true passion is. But I could be wrong- after all, I’m not an admin officer.</p>

<p>Best of luck!

<p>I’d say you’re a match or at most a low reach at Northwestern and Wash U. For all the other schools you’re a reach, but everyone who applies to those are a reach.</p>

5

<p>You can never have a definite 100% chance at any of those schools, but I’m very sure you’ll get into a few of your top 10 schools, and probably at least 1 Ivy. Your extracurriculars, SATs and GPA put you in the range, so as long as your essays are great, you have nothing to worry about.</p>

<p>I would assume your SAT score and ECs are a bit of a stretch for Wharton (don’t see much interest in business shown), but everywhere else you look like an incredibly competitive applicant. I would be shocked if you didn’t get into at least half of those. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Id say your profile on the whole is pretty strong , i.e. your GPA is good, SAT’s are good and have strong ECs.
However, the Ivies are difficult to determine. But I can say with assurity that you will get into ATLEAST 3-4 schools youve mentioned ! (for sure).
I hope you wrote a killer essay and got good LORs !
If you have, youre on the way !
All the best! :)</p>

<p>Chance me please?
