<p>I don't know what to tell you. great list overall!</p>

<p>I'm from yortown high School in Arlington, Va. This year, 13 people from my HS are going to UVa, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 13 people is top 10% in their class. About 20 people got deferred and then rejected. None of these 20 people is top 10% of their class....</p>

<p>UVa will be a big reach, especially since you are from NOVA, one of the most competitive regions academically. Cornell will be hard as well......
Please put A LOT of emphasis on Michigan and W&M's applications. you have great chances in those schools, especially W&M, which is desperate for Asians.
Michigan is feasible, too. write good essay and you have some chance. (not too big)</p>
