Would you be happy with the programs you've already gotten into?
You seem like a good candidate, but frankly college admissions are overflowing with overachieving asians (it's racist, but even an average score on the SATs is called an "asian fail" by some councilors). So much goes into a school wanting to let in legacies, people who they don't need to give financial aid to, or people from certain states to fill their quotas.

You're clearly a high achiever and have worked really hard. Whether or not you get into those top schools though is never really about your merit, it's more about what admissions is looking for right then. Best of luck though.


yea, overflowing with overacheiving asians is a good way to put it. i got into those level schools but that was two years ago. things are getting crazier and crazier
