<p>Do you have good reasons for those schools? I agree not to take any schools off your list just because someone told you, but think a lot about why you want to go somewhere. Right now, to me, your list looks like the typical Asian hopeful that hasn’t done a lot of research (no offence. I was like that.). </p>
<p>Anyway, your story is unique and compelling, but I can’t say how any college will look at it. Go for a nice range of reaches to safeties.</p>
<p>I would suggest applying to Middlebury. It is highly international, top LAC, best school for international studies IMO, and just seems like a perfect match for you (not as in acceptance chance, but in terms of fit). It would be a reach for everyone. </p>
<p>About your Jewish-Chinese-Korean situation, don’t hide the fact you’re Chinese. You’ll need to tell a summary of your life story, which points out your background. SAT Chinese may then be counted lower than it would, but I believe the positive affect from your story will be a lot higher. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
