<p>Looks good to me! What is your intended major? be sure to show your interest in your major in your essays! it’ll be a low reach-reach for most of them, only because there’s really no “wow” factor or hook, like a URM or a lot of passionate ECs that demonstrate interest. </p>
<p>That said, your stats are really great!</p>

<p>I think you’ve got a great chance at all these colleges. Note that there will be a lot of applicants like you with these stats and accomplishments. Ultimately the kids that get accepted are the ones that are able to bring something unique to the table whether it’s through an EC, essays, fantastic interview or recommendation. Remember that when you’re applying and tailor your application to show off what you bring to the university. </p>
<p>Harvard - reach
Yale - reach
Princeton - high reach (depending on your GPA trend)
Stanford - high reach
Chicago - reach
Penn - low reach
Brown - low reach/high match
Cornell - high match
Columbia - reach
Dartmouth - low reach</p>
<p>[Chance</a> for Penn, Chicago, NYU and Columbia](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1526000-please-chance-penn-chicago-nyu-columbia-will-chance-back.html]Chance”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1526000-please-chance-penn-chicago-nyu-columbia-will-chance-back.html)</p>
<p>Major in economics with minor in political science/international relations</p>
<p>Actually, doctorwarned, there is a prototype AP russian exam that is offered at select schools across the country. collegeboard recognizes it for ap scholar awards, as do colleges who offer Russian studies as a course. I took BC calc and us gov, sorry for the oversight.</p>
<p>the school is partially IB and I’m in a competitive grade of 100 with about 40 people who are super-competitive, myself included. The entire grade, which consists of 1000 people, both IB and non-IB is very low-achieving and located in a low-income area.</p>
<p>You have a great chance at these schools, but like others have said… you don’t have a certain wow factor to your application. your objective and subjective factors are both very strong, which I’m sure you know. Write excellent essays and you will most likely get into a couple of the ivies you have listed</p>
<p>HYPS - reach
UChicago - low reach
other ivies - low/mid reach</p>
