<p>Potential Hooks: Japanese, from Utah, No one at my school has ever applied back east</p>
<p>I looking more at prestigious LACs, but I'm still partially interested in these schools. How bout em? Reaches, matches, or what?</p>
<p>You've got good EC's too. You sound a bit like me, Asian in an odd state. It certainly can't hurt. </p>
<p>As for my personal experiences with Wash U, it's a little weird. </p>
<p>My friend with a 35 (or 34) ACT (and a good number of ECs) was waitlisted. A girl whose dream school was Wash U and got into Yale was waitlisted. In AR, Wash U is a very popular school, so everyone with a 30+ ACT applies. I'd say around 10-15 students got waitlisted at my school. I think my legacy assured my spot. </p>
<p>Wash U is anything but a sure thing. The same thing probably applies to the other schools listed.</p>
<p>But with your achievements and your uniqueness (Utah + Asian), I'd say you have a 75% chance at Wash U, and maybe a little higher chances with the lower ranked schools.</p>
<p>Very good chances at all schools. With all of these schools, you will want to demonstrate interest, as they are all wary of being used as "safety" schools for the Ivys. Your SAT I scores are very solid, however they fall just below the 75th percentile at Emory -- not a problem.</p>
<p>To pitch Emory a bit, you may be interested in knowing that they had a nationally-ranked Div. III men's soccer team this year -- again. The team was selected for the Div. III national tournament. Overall, Emory has a solid atheletics program for Div. III -- they are consistently in the Top 5 of the NACDA Director's Cup given to colleges with the most success in collegiate athletics. As well, recognizing your theological interests, Emory has the influence of the Candler School of Theology. Emory's undergraduate college follows a liberal arts tradition while having the benefit of a major research university, particularly with the influence of their graduate programs.</p>
