<p>I think there is a very slim chance, none at all really, for you to get into top 20 schools. That being said, you could decrease your chance even further by writing some very political incorrect essays. A student at my kids school, with top stats, parents pushed hard for him to go to an Ivy. He really didn’t want to go. When the result came out, he was rejected by all of those top schools, but accepted to the ones he wanted. One of those adcoms actually called his GC to let her know the reason he was not accepted was because of his essays. She never told the parents.</p>
