<p>Your stats were similar as mine when I applied to colleges. Although that does not mean you will get in to schools that I did or get rejected from schools that I did, I think you have a fair shot at the Ivies. It really does not hurt to apply to any of the Ivies, since you are competitive enough. Since the admissions process is a crapshoot, I cannot say you will get in, but at least you are competitive for the Ivies, so apply if you would go to any of the Ivies.</p>
