Top Schools

<p>Hello,
I'm planning to major in economics.
So I was wondering if I have a shot at these top colleges:</p>

<p>Harvard
MIT
Princeotn
Yale
Stanford
Cornell
U-Chicago</p>

<hr>

<p>School Size = ~2,300
Class Size = ~580
Class Rank = Top 1% (Not totally sure about the ranking itself)
Grade Average : 100+ (weighted), ~99.3 (Non weighted)
GPA: 4.00 (Non-weighted)
Weighted = ?(School's max is around 4.3)</p>

9th
Geometry (Honors)

<p>Income: ~$80,000

<hr>

<p>I know that my EC and awards are rather lacking.
(My lack of leadership position is partly due to transferring schools. I've transferred after each year, so it was impossible for me to run for a position)</p>

<p>Do I have a shot in any of these collegs?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>I’m going to say you have no “realistic” chance at any of these schools except Cornell (which is still a huge reach). Your ECs are killing you. Being Asian makes it worse.</p>

<p>Get high scores from SAT IIs.
Maintain high GPA and focus on 1 or 2 ECs. (Your ECs are pretty weak.)
Write great essays and apply to many top colleges.</p>

<p>Then, hope for the best.
You will get many rejection/waitlist letters but you might be able to get into some of them.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>
