"You can definately aim for the TOP Ivies i.e. Harvard, Princeton etc. You have a VERY GOOD shot at UPenn.

Try Penn State as your safety lol

Don't worry - you're AMAZING"

Please take this advice with a grain of salt. I'm not saying ilovebabypink is lying or anything, but this advice can be misleading. UPenn has a 16% admission rate, just a couple percentage points higher than HYP (add in cross-admits, athletes, legacies, and the chances go down alot more).

Furthermore, you're not exactly the definition of "amazing" (sorry, just pointing this out). A 2150 is good, but not great for the schools you want to go to. Your ECs, although great, are not "above average" for HYP applicants.

I would say you're a high reach for HYP and reach for Upenn (and other ivies)
