I''m almost same stats (but slightly lower GPA but higher SAT scores) and less EC's, but people here say I have a decent chance, so so should you.

Another chances thread? Didn't you make one of these before..? I honestly don't see why people always make chance threads. It's not like the people on CC can give you honest answers, and at best all they can do is give you a false sense of reassurement. At top schools, admissions are a crapshoot so there really is no point to asking for one's chances. While your GPA and ECs are good, your test scores are a bit lacking. Your low reading scores on both the ACT and SAT might hinder you, as I hear colleges like to see high reading scores. But that's just my two cents, take it however you will.
