<p>Your credentials look pretty solid to me, but standing out in some way is one of the key aspects of having a real chance. Based on what you posted, you aren’t really unique compared to most people who’d probably apply to an Ivy, but you can definitely focus on standing out with your essay(s), so don’t be discouraged.</p>

<p>Great stats. However you should improve a little your EC and focus on your essays, the will make the difference between you and the other candidates.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. I guess I should also mention that I’m doing independent neuroscience research in affiliation with UPMC.</p>

<p>If your research is substantial and interesting you should submit an abstract along with your application. Like people above has said, your essay can help you stand out a bit more.
Most Ivies- Reach; Cornell, etc. are more likely.
Good luck!!
