<p>I think you have a pretty good chance actually! A lot of matches and safeties on your list. However what is a 3.8 UW gpa on the 100 point scale? That’s the only scale I am familiar with and can thus assess your chances better if I knew the equivalent.</p>

3

<p>That would be a 93 I believe! Do my EC’s look decent?</p>

<p>You’re going to be fine.
GPA and scores are in good order and EC’s are above average. More AP’s would be desirable, especially if you could have taken them your junior year.
The questions though is how you plan on separating yourself from the rest of the competitive Asian applicants to top schools. Why you instead of everyone else with similar stats? Consider this in your personal statements and EC explanations.</p>

<p>Just noticed you were a junior. AP’s should be in top shape then.</p>

6

<p>Wow very very impressive ECs. Especially your science research and ambassadorship! You have an amazing chance especially because of your ECs!</p>

7

<p>Thank you very much @elnamo! And yes @Suixxi, I’m a junior and planning on acing those Subject and AP tests.</p>

<p>you have good stats overall, but your EC’s seem a little bit scattered. If you do stellar research and do well in Siemens, your chances are very good for the very top schools. Try to apply ED/EA in order to bolster your chances at your #1 school.</p>

9

<p>It is important to realize that there are only around 8/9 spots for ECs, so now is the time to focus, other than that u are set</p>

10

<p>Get your subject tests done. Don’t go for internships for the sake of exposure, do it because you have a strong interest in the subject, which you seem to demonstrate.</p>

<p>You are in good shape, maintain the good work and start thinking about what you want to write for your essays, those are very important! Good luck!</p>

<p>Work on your relationships with your counselor and the teachers who will give your recs in fall. Make sure they know how busy/motivated/successful you are outside the classroom.</p>
