@MYOS1634 3% is still better than no percent haha I’m trying to be optimistic! Would you say that the less well known Ivies such as Columbia Cornell and Brown would be easier to get into than, say, Yale and Harvard? Also, thank you for the list! I’m looking into Chicago and Vanderbilt right now!
LOL “less well-known Ivies”… it’s like saying “the sun is less well-known than the Earth”… or vice versa. No, for internationals, they’re not easier. 
Her’s my objective opinion, based on the available statistics on the Internet:
It’s scaled from 1 to 10, 1 being the easiest and 10 the hardest:
Yale:10
Stanford:10
Brown:9
Harvard:10
USC:7
UCLA:8
UCSD:5
UC Berkley:9
Columbia:9
NYU:5
Cornell:9
Good luck!
I agree with other posters–NYU looks possible but all others are Reaches/Far Reaches
BU, BC, Northeastern. Would you consider Mount Holyoke, Smith?
@Booksmart27 personally, I have little choice over what schools Im applying to, especially since my parents are very focused on “top universities”. I also have to apply for Canadian universities, which is why I don’t believe Ill be able to apply for many more schools.
ALSO could you please explain what exactly a reach/far reach is? XD
A reach means that your stats are in the bottom 25% of admitted students and you have little chance of admission. Except for the Ivies and other top schools that are reaches for most everyone unless you have run the Nobel Peace Prize.
Reach: your odds of getting admitted are very low, but “try because why not?” Those are added to the list AFTER you’ve found matches (40%+ acceptance rate, your scores and GPA place you at or near the “75%” threshold, you like it, and after the NPC you know you can afford it) and safeties (40%+ acceptance rate, your scores and GPA place you in the top 10%, you like it, and after running the NPC you know you can afford it).
A far reach is a school were your odds are virtually nil.
Mount Holyoke, Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Barnard, Vassar, used to be the Seven Sisters - schools for the daughters of the powerbrokers and elite. Apply to a couple of those - Vassar no longer is a women’s college, but te others still are, still are elite, still devote themselves to women’s power. Barnard may especially appeal to your parents since your degree, strictly speaking, is Barnard Columbia (Barnard is the women’s college within Columbia University) and students take classes there if they want to, as it’s accross the street, and vice versa for Columbia College students. Bryn Mawr may also appeal to them since you could take classes at Haverford and Penn.
Yale-high reach
Stanford-high reach
Brown-low/mid reach
Harvard-high reach
USC-safety
UCLA-low reach/match
UCSD-match/safety
UC Berkley-low reach
Columbia-mid reach
NYU-low reach/safety
Cornell-mid reach
You have amazing stats, but most scholarships are given to US Citizens. You have decent EC, but they are focused on one EC which is dance, that shows you’re dedication which is great, but some schools might want more.
I would also recommend looking at: Boston University, Emory, Duke, Georgetown, and Vanderbilt. Skip some of the CA and ivies, the west coast is completely different from the East cost.
please chance me
