You’re in the ballpark, as much as a crapshoot ivies can be. Do well on SAT IIs

You’re qualified.

I feel like I’m missing an edge – something that will push me over the top. Do you guys agree?

I guess… but remember that you still have a few months left until you submit your application. Maybe talk to your counsellor, teachers, relatives and see whether there are any national competitions you can go for :slight_smile: to give you a boost?

Same as everyone; you’re definitely qualified for the Ivy lottery.

You have ok/good chances for all these schools. I know for northwestern you’d have a good shot for everything because you seem really well rounded with diverse interests. The only thing is you might want to ED/EA your top choice because rejection rates are high for all these schools making RD odds impossibly low. I say lowest chances are at the top of the Ivy League but really all these schools have low odds but if you apply to all of them you’ll get in at least 1.

Thanks for your responses everyone.
