<p>I’ll be frank, the Ivies+Chicago are looking a little bit slim, mostly because they’re test score hungry (especially Yale), but the leadership activities and ECs you have are great (Yeah martial arts!). Your curriculum is really nice and diverse, with good grades and APs to boot. So here goes:
Rochester like a good bet, the Eastman school is a reach for everyone though, if that’s your plan. Mac I’d say about 70%, but if you’re looking for a music program there, my piano teacher (former teacher there) recommended against it for me. Wesleyan I don’t know a whole lot about, but if you really want to increase your chances I would take the SAT in addition to your ACT. Your Safes are Safe.
