<p>Your ECs are phenomenal. So is your GPA. Your scores are a tad bit lacking. Assuming you’re in need of financial aid, unless you can get your SAT/SAT II scores up, a shot at the Ivies is somewhat unrealistic. Your scores aren’t bad. But the competition among International Asian students is scary. Just flat out scary.</p>

<p>What country are you from? If it’s overrepresented, it could pose a difficulty.</p>

<p>Are you asking for FA?</p>
