Good list. Where are you from? Gender? Race?

Asian female from California- pretty sure that doesnt help my case

You are probably solid for all the UCs, NYU, BU and Brandeis. For the Ivy schools, it is harder to say, especially Yale., but if I had to say, you will get into one of the remaining three.

I think you have good chances for most of these schools. The Ivys are always a long shot, but I would say your chances are decent there- definitely better than most.
