<p>Also can you include your intended major, because that way people can give better advice on what matches are better for your major, which aren’t, and what higher ranked schools are better for your major.</p>

<p>UPenn
-Johns Hopkins: reach
-Harvard: impossible
-Yale: impossible

<p>Nice profile! (I’m a black belt, too!)
Your scores are strong (you might want to bring up that CR score to be more competitive, though). I think you’re a solid applicant, but essays will play a big factor (as they always do) for those top schools. Upenn, Harvard, Yale and Columbia are reaches, while JHU and Brown are more match/reaches. Others are safety/matches in my opinion. Good luck!!</p>

<p>All of the ivys are reaches, for 90% of applicants including you(with such a low acceptance rate it is quite difficult for anyone.) For the rest, you have a great chance at. If you can, get your SAT’s up.</p>
