<p>dont wanna sound harsh, but for you all the ivies are a reach
even as valedictorian, you test scores scores aren’t as competitive as most of the people that apply, and your ec’s are just like everybody elses.
for ivies- need really good essays</p>

<p>as for ucla, your gpa is definitely good enough, but not sure about the test results : / probably a high match?</p>
