<p>Your stats are really good. Except you seem like a typical asian high school student with just stats. Unfortunately, alot of ivies discriminate against asians like us. From what i no about you, your ecs are just typical, nothing too exceptional. your essays seem typical too. you should get into wash U and brown. Others, not too sure…
chance me!

<p>I think your stats are good, and your EC’s are decent, but nothing really stands out. I think the ivies are sometimes harder against asains, but not as much as people make it out to be. </p>

<p>It’s pretty obvious you’re qualified for most of these. It’s just a matter of standing out now. Or luck. No real weaknesses, but ECs could be better.</p>

<p>Yale - reach
MIT - reach
Stanford - reach
Harvard- reach
Duke - low reach
Brown - low reach
Cornell - high match
Wash U - match/high match (match if you showed interest)
Dartmouth - high match/low reach
Princeton - reach
Hopkins - match/high match</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>As people have said before, you’ve got what it takes, but now you need to stand out from the rest of the competition! Write some good essays about interesting subjects and you should have a good shot at all.</p>

<p>Yale - Reach
MIT - Reach
Stanford - Reach
Harvard- Tough Reach
Duke - Low Reach
Brown - Low Reach / Match
Cornell - High Match
Wash U - Probably In
Dartmouth - Low Reach
Princeton - Tough Reach
Hopkins - Probably In w/ good essays</p>
