Great chances at most of these schools, except for the ivies and the more selective ones. You have a decent chance, but no one really knows with them.
Not applying for financial aid will be a huge plus for the need-aware schools. Your stats alone are quite impressive and I’d be very surprised if you didn’t get accepted to any of these schools. Pretty sure you’ll get into Vassar
Vassar - Match
Brown - Low-mid reach
UChicago - Low reach
Carnegie Mellon - high match
NYU - you’re in
BU- you’re in
John Hopkins - low reach
Yale - Reach
Northwestern - high match mostly/low reach
UPenn - low-mid reach.
Your GPA is great and so are your ECs. Your SAT puts you in the running pool but now above it. I wish you all the best of luck!
ED 2 to Vassar- No Idea
Brown - Reach (Ivy’s are a reach for anyone)
Georgetown - Match
George Washington - To be honest, probably a safety
UChicago - High Match

Seems that International Asian applicants are at a disadvantage looking at the comments on this thread. Your extra-curricular are top notch but judging that it is possible to attain a perfect score in SAT and ACTs, I would suggest trying to improve your SAT score. Looking at our Race and location we are having quite a hard time.
However in my case it is virtually impossible to obtain a perfect score in any examination although you could get 100//100 in individual subjects you cant get 100 in all of them… Even the national record for my country is between 390 and 380 out of 400
(that’s English + best 3 subjects)
Guys take a look at my thread and chance me. i will most certainly chance you back. I would also appreciate if you could suggest some additional colleges.
Anyways good luck with your admissions and studies in whichever college you get into guys.
Your ECs are really strong and the IB curriculum does display that you are taking rigorous courses. Your SAT score is decent, not that bad.

In terms of SAT scores, the 2170 is a very good score. The only thing is your breakdown isn’t really the best as it doesn’t really show skill in one particular area. I think your passion is psychology but again there is plenty of ECs that say otherwise. I think you will get into NYU, UCB, UCLA if you are full pay, also you will get into the non-ivies/ivy calibre schools. After that it’s a crapshoot, good luck!
I would say your SAT score is a bit low for the Ivies, but for all the other schools it should be good! Your GPA, course load, and ECs are all totally great! You have greats chances at getting into many of the schools! Good luck, you are a great student!
