<p>Best chance, which is still probably a 20-25% chance for each (the top ones are a little like the lottery). </p>

<p>Don’t feel bad about being an Asian male. Affirmative action is reverse discrimination… imagine the uproar if white people were given preferential treatment over black people.</p>

<p>Hey thanks for your input! Lolz AA is kind of necessary though I guess since there’s so many Asians just like me hahaa</p>

<p>You’re an extremely qualified applicant for all of those schools! Your ECs are so unique (Carnegie Hall, research at HYP) that I think you’ll stand out even in HYP’s applicant pool. As long as your essays are great, I think you have a good chance at all of these schools. Good luck!
