Well you’re list is a good start but it’s very top heavy, as others have said, only GW maybe BU could be considered safeties, and your public safeties are really matches. UIUC and UM are good alternatives to UVA and UNC to get more balance in your list. JHU probably should be in the first set of reaches, especially if you apply RD. For an Asian, Harvard and Stanford have lottery-esqe odds so I’d drop them for schools not as concerned with hooks - stem schools like Cal Tech and MIT e.g. I know a lot of Indians with your stats living out here in silicon valley, and they did real well the past year with Cal Tech, MIT, CMU, Berkeley, Penn (ED or RD), Cornell (ED), Columbia (ED) so I’d consider those first in your reaches. Brown and Northwestern - if you one of these is your clear first choice, apply there ED, your chances are much higher.
