<p>Well, for the schools you’re looking at, your SAT scores are a little weak [2200+ is a good goal]. I think your SAT II scores are fine, though. Retaking a 770 on Physics looks a little obsessive. And you’ve taken 5 Subject tests? I don’t know of any place that requires more than 3.</p>

<p>You’re GPA is excellent.</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty solid [A+ Certified and Eagle Scout are good] if a little bit…not uncommon, as well as the awards [although I believe the general advice is against listing school-wide awards]. The community-college courses are cool as well. </p>

<p>But all in all, especially considering that you have a tough ethnicity, I think all the Ivies are reaches for you [although IMO the best anyone can do for the Ivies is a low reach]. Not sure about the others.</p>

<p>Thanks for input! Any others would be appreciated!</p>

<p>SAT scores, as an asian, are a little weak (I’m asian myself)
Other than that, I see a really strong application.
Good luck!</p>
