<p>Holy **** your resume is built like a lion</p>

<p>LOL “438.6 students per class year”…so, who’s the .6 in each class? xD</p>

<p>anyways (yes i know that was lame)…</p>

<p>the 3.7 unweighted may hurt a bit (even with 5 APs so far) because some of these schools are just too darn selective. the ECs look great. if you want a better chance from some people, you may want to post your major choice; for many schools, the chances vary on the program applied for.</p>

<p>u penn: reach
usc: in, i think
UCs: very very low reach for berkeley/LA, in at rest
NYU: in
cornell: low reach
MIT: reach (they seem to emphasize science and whatnot…"
wash u: low reach/high match
yale: reach</p>

<p>i know i put reach for a lot of them, but im being conservative; better chances than most at those schools</p>
