You are an excellent student but your guidance counselor doesn’t understand that the Ivies need much higher SAT scores to even be in the running – unless, maybe, you’re an international champion at chess and the schools have competitive teams? I’m glad you’re seeking advice. Being Asian can work against you in this crazy process from what I’m read and heard. You need some match and safety schools; so far, unfortunately, all you have is reach schools – even UVA and even if you’re instate. This is not to say you can’t be accepted by Ivies or near Ivies; it’s just that you might not. I’ve seen students and parents misled as you’ve been, and it’s so unfair when they are rejected everywhere and don’t understand why.
