<p>Condensed stats:</p>

<p>male, rising senior, below 30K income
Class Rank: 1/~550
GPA: 4.0 unweighted</p>

<p>SATs:
2270 (800 writing, 770 reading, 700 math) facepalmed after seeing math score x_X
800 Chinese, 680 Math Level 2, physics (and math again) soon</p>

<p>EC's:
(my weakest point, compared to some of the great stuff people post imo)
3 years Tennis
1 year Math Club, held officer position
3 years CSF
2 years MUN
founder and president of Guitar Club
Played in a band for 4 years, performed ~30-40 shows
placed in guitar competition held at local college
job at local tutoring place
library services volunteer</p>

<p>I'm planning on applying to local flagship colleges, but am also considering:
JHU
Duke
Cornell
Brown
Dartmouth
Harvard
Princeton
Stanford</p>

<p>So, my question is: Do I even have a chance in the admissions process of these prestigious schools? I know my numbers are decent, but my less than stellar ec's worry me.</p>

<p>thanks :D</p>

<p>Sure, they’re worth a shot. I would really try to bring up the scores for a much better shot. I’d also not submit Chinese if you are Chinese, they hate that.</p>

<p>You SHOULD consider them but your list looks like you just want to go to an ivy… half of the ivies are there. I highly doubt you have a genuine interest in each of them</p>
