Solid chance for all schools…maybe Yale is a bit of a stretch without knowing more about your personal qualities and intellectual originality.

You’re as qualified as any applicant could hope to be. Ivies/Duke/Stanford/MIT/Chicago etc. get a lot of applications from Indian males so you’re in a bit of an overrepresented demographic. Still, you should be admitted at one of the four if all goes well. I can definitely see Penn/Duke in your future. Brown might pass. Yale might waitlist you.
