<p>hey,
Your stats look similar to mine, and I am considering the same EA schools as you too. You look like a strong applicant with your scores and a solid GPA. Your boxing EC seems pretty unique for an asian, which should be beneficial. I would say that you definitely have a shot at these schools, but obviously its not guaranteed. Chance me back.

<p>Please don't retake your SAT. There is no reason to try to bring up your math and critical reading scores.</p>

5

<p>You look obsessive for wanting to bring up those scores, which are amazing, even for the Ivy League. Your SATs and GPA are very good and competitive at the Ivies.</p>

<p>Your ECs are good too, having a focus on music.</p>

<p>Before you choose Stanford or Yale for SCEA, consider that Stanford recalculates your GPA to include only the 10th/11th grade while Yale looks at 9th-12th. It doesn't seem to matter though, having a 3.9 puts you in a good position.</p>

6

<p>I like your stats and everything, but I think you have to work on writing about your boxing especially to stand out from the thousands of other asians with great stats in the tri-state area cough syosset cough</p>

<p>and maybe write about your warcraft prowess</p>

<p>^^LOL
What's your LEVEL!!</p>

8

<p>you guys realize that boxing at its fundamentals is a martial art. and we all know about asians and martial arts.</p>

<p>so its not that unique. but if its something you're passionate about go for it.</p>
