<p>You have fantastic scores, great GPA, and pretty good EC’s (almost all applicants will have the same EC’s). However, these Ivies are unpredictable in the sense that even if you do have great statistics, and EC’s, you don’t exactly know if you’ll get in or not.</p>

<p>Bumpp, I feel like these Ivies are a bit less variable in chances than HYP.</p>

<p>Probably in at Cornell, Solid chance at Columbia and Upenn. Good luck!</p>
