<p>I’m not going to give you a random number because that is completely stupid, what this chances forum really should be for is feedback on your performance. For the colleges that you want to go to, your performance is not compelling at all. First of all, you are Asian. That is your biggest setback. You also take place in Asians specialties such as Math team and Chess and tennis. Your SAT score in reading is extremely unsatisfactory, and that serves the stereotype that Asians aren’t good at anything except math. </p>

<p>You are pretty much a typical Asian. I will leave it at that. I cannot predict the future and admissions rates are complete ****piles because they don’t involve so many variables.</p>

<p>I suggest you stop ■■■■■■■■ right now.</p>

<p>Based on your other malicious comments, you seem like a bitter little freshman set out to join these forums in order to belittle everyone.
I suggest you stop now.
One more of these absurd ad hominem attacks and I will report you to the Moderators.</p>

<p>To the OP:
You have average chances, seeing that your SAT score falls into bottom 25% of the common data set of Dartmouth and Harvard.
Keep working on your SAT scores and you will be competitive.</p>
