<p>Your academics are solid, but you’re SAT II is lacking. Seriously consider boosting it up especially since Asian students (including Indians) are almost expected to get 800 in Math II in my opinion. I think your ranking is sub-par but I don’t know the competitiveness of your school so I can’t really judge accurately. </p>

<p>Your ECs look very strong - a good blend of academic and athletics. However, you are lacking significant (at least somewhat competitive) award (unless you just forgot to enumerate)</p>

<p>I’m only familiar with Ivies so Ill answer for the first two schools:
-Cornell: good chance; Cornell is relatively less competitive of the Ivies but being an Ivy, your academic report may be too weak. Your ECs are sufficient though
-Penn: also good chance; I knew a kid who made it in with about your resume minus the sports and more involvement in science and tech, full ride &lt;/p>

<p>Like I mentioned before, get your SAT IIs up!!!</p>

<p>If you’ve time, chance mine:

<p>If you can’t afford Duke, they meet 100% of financial aid.</p>

4

<p>Cornell/Penn admit A LOT of their class ED (50%ish and have 25% admission rates) so if you apply ED you have a decent chance (rather good)</p>

<p>haha like every other asian male applicant. Im going for Howard instead of VCU, the program is similar but Howard is 6 year and also Howard’s in state.</p>
