<p>In honesty, you’re a competitive applicant, but your stats (ACT’s) will most likely work against you; I would encourage you to continue to raise your GPA and raise your ACT score to 34+ (especially since you’re an asian male). You’re a well rounded applicant who will be successful in the college process. Just focus on specific ivies and colleges in general that you are really, genuinely interested in and kill their essays and interview.
Good luck!</p>

<p>try the SATs as well. Although most colleges say they don’t prefer one test over the other, it seems to me that competitive SAT scores often lead to more successful applications especially at top universities… Other than that you look like a very involved and competitive applicant. Best of luck!</p>
