<p>Academically, you’re doing well. A proper chance cannot be given until SATs and SAT II scores are in. Don’t assume anything. Your ECs are fine but not spectacular.
HYP, Columbia, Brown, UChicago, Amherst, Swarthmore will be far/reaches unless your test scores are phenomenal and your ECs turn up outstanding. The said schools reject even the most spectacular applicants. Try looking at more 50-50 and safety schools.</p>
