<p>Thanks in advance for looking at this!
I really really like Yale (I am not quite the type to "fall in love with it" after hearing its name and spending an afternoon on its campus) but as of right now Yale is one of my top choices. I would like to apply SCEA this coming fall with an intended major in biology.</p>
<p>I am an asian-american female and attend a large failing urban public high school in New England. Every year, my school sends about about ~3 grads to Ivies, which is surprising given its status as a school that focuses more on preventing bomb threats than encouraging academic success.</p>
<p>As a rising senior I would like to know my chances for:
Ivies
UChicago
Northwestern
Johns Hopkins University
Duke
Wellesley
Williams</p>
