<p>You have a “solid” chance, as silverturtle said. No one has a “great” chance at Harvard, Stanford, or most other Ivies unless they’re a hooked applicant, and you didn’t mention any hooks.</p>
<p>I personally think one of your essays (perhaps the CommonApp one?) should be about your extensive international volunteer work and how truly “global” your perspective is. That’s a valuable asset to top colleges: having “global” students in every sense, and you seem to embody that. If you can make it work, that could be a great essay.</p>
<p>Predictions:</p>
<p>Stanford - Mid reach
Harvard - Mid reach
Amherst - Low reach
UPenn - Low reach
Dartmouth - Mid reach
