I HAVE NO SAFTIES whatsoever. Save meee!

<p>Hanae, It's still early in the game for you and you'll add and subtract a lot of names before you're done. Your past GPA is something that you can't change. Focus on getting good grades in the next year. Schools like to see an upward trend. Your scores and rank are good. If your family's prepared to pay full tuition, your choices widen considerably.</p>

<p>You need a strategy, not just a list. My advice is to go against the grain and look for colleges where being an Asian female interested in both science and art is a plus. At the colleges I listed Asians are URMS. They also actively recruit kids with strong art backgrounds. Both Tufts and Dartmouth have an excess of extremely talented Asian applicants and your arts EC won't count for much. Thus while all are reaches, Williams and Wesleyan are reasonable reaches; Tufts and Dartmouth are unlikely. </p>

<p>Same thing for all the urban schools on your list. They get plenty of Asians and can be picky on statistics. To standout from the pack you should consider some of the more remotely located colleges and some all female schools. If this doesn't appeal to you then the next step is to stay urban and coed but to drop down a tier in selectivity. As I said, you have a long time to work on this. Don't despair, just do some analytic research.</p>
