<p>I was wondering where I would have the best chances of getting in. One thing that bothers me a little is that I've been told that Asians have it a lot harder trying to get into the really competitive colleges and have a higher standard, kind of like reverse affirmative action. Based on my stuff here what do you think my chances will be of getting into lower ivy leagues (like Cornell especially) and do you think I have a chance at UPenn (or others)?</p>

<p>Your stats make you a plausible candidate at any of these schools. However, they all reject many people with very high “numbers” so you should definitely add some easier-to-get-into schools to this mix.</p>

<p>The fact that people who work at UVA must know you from your internship ought to work to your advantage there.</p>
