Hmm…your application could go either way. You have very good qualifications all around, but, seeing as you’re Asian, it may be a little more difficult. Having a strong SAT score goes nowhere for Asians (I feel you bro) and that below average rank does hurt you. Most people at the top schools rest in at least the top 5% of their high schools…just browse a couple Common Data Sets. However, if you can write a brilliant essay and get good recommendations, you should have as much a chance as anyone else.

Johns Hopkins (#1 choice, will ED here) - 60% (depends on the major though)
Washington Univ. St. Louis - 70% (they want high SAT scores)
Univ. of Pennsylvania - 30%
Northwestern Univ - 60%
UC Berkeley - 40% (Out of state)
Univ. of Southern California - 80%
Univ. of Chicago - 60%
Duke - 40%
Columbia - 20%
Cornell - 30%
Purdue (Safety school) - 99% (Just don’t drop out of high school)
Stanford - 10%
Emory - 60%
Yale - 7%
Brown University - 25%

Might you chance me too? :D
