I’ll try to do the best I can…but since youre an international applicant, i have no idea what is considered “good”.

your sat’s are pretty solid. that 610 in lit might put them off, but ur other sat II’s were fantastic so they might overlook it.

you’ve definitely got the grades. you’re ec’s are very good, especially the band thing (tho i might be a bit biased since i’m in a band too haha)

the fact that you’ve won national awards will really work in your favor.

Harvard-reach (sorry but everyone seems to have the same type of application and a TON of people apply)

Yale-reach (see harvard)

Princeton- reach (in America, one in 12 valedictorians get accepted)

Columbia- low(er) reach

UChicago- match

Northwestern- match

Duke- match

Penn- lower reach to match

Brown- match

I think you’ve got a fair shot at all these schools. Again, I have no idea what the applicant pool looks like internationally and I hope you have great success in getting into these schools. Hope this helps.

p.s. i’m indian too…haha
