<p>With your stats I’d say you have a decent shot at most of them, but, since many students have stats equal to or better than yours, it will be important for your recommendations and essays to be strong.
HYPS will definitely be hard, but, they are a reach for everyone.
Harvard - long reach
Yale - long reach
Princeton - long reach
Columbia - good odds
Cornell - food odds
Northwestern - reach
Washington University in St. Louis - reach
UCLA - long reach
Stamford - long reach
Georgetown - good odds
Williams - reach
Amherst - reach</p>

<p>You’ve obviously got great stats, but your EC’s are kind of weak, and those are the kind of things that Yale, Harvard and Princeton look for; if it comes down to a 2200 with awesome EC’s and a 2400 with so so EC’s, the former will get it every time.</p>

<p>But, that being said, you still stand a good shot, better than most people. I’ll say that you’ll get into at least 3-4 of those on your list. However, the scary thing is that you could, plausibly, be rejected from everyone of those on your list, they are all extremely competitive. Even the “less competitive” schools on that list like Cornell, Georgetown, UCLA, and WUSTL have been known to reject 2300+ applicants with great GPA’s. So my advice: Get safeties if you haven’t all ready.</p>
