<p>Harvard and Stanford are "lottery" schools for everyone. There is no way any of us can predict your chances there.</p>

<p>Cornell is a bit more predictable, but the fact that you are an international applicant rather than a domestic one makes things harder. Which division of Cornell would you be applying to? That also can make a big difference.</p>

<p>Make an appointment with your guidance counselor and discuss your entire college list. If that person has never worked with an international applicant before, find out which places have admitted domestic students with your profile in the past few years, and adjust your sight downward a peg or two. Generally speaking, what would be a match for a US applicant is a reach for an international applicant even if that applicant does not require any financial aid at all. If you need financial aid, everywhere is a reach.</p>

<p>I would say your in at cornell and out at the others. Your rank is obviously amazing but I don't see any really track your interested based on your ec's. I think showing your passion for what you want to study through your outside activities is extremely important. All i see is sports and academic team. Your going to be competing against kids who are beats at math and science and have pounded the area. While you have to be well rounded, I think everyone wants to see an area that you clearly dominate...Your stats are amazing don't think otherwise.. problem is there are so many others just like you regarding stats and stuff. Good luck though!</p>
