<p>You have good chance in Boston college and NYU.</p>

<p>UVA is always a stretch for students outside of VA, but I think you’re headed in the right direction. Your GPA is stellar, and your AP results may not be good enough to get credit at UVA (I can’t quite remember) but they’re good enough for UVA to recognize your clear ability. I think the 700 in Korean along with your other SAT II’s should help you out tremendously. I would say that UVA is definitely within your reach.</p>

<p>I would say you’re definitely in good standing for Boston College, and probably the same for NYU. Admission to Northwestern is less likely.</p>

<p>UnVA- low reach
Carnegie Mellon- low reach
Northwestern- reach
Boston College- match
NYU- match
The upward GPA trend is very nice, as is the SATII scores, and the ECs</p>
