<p>um, WOW. your awards are really impressive, like the rensselaer and harvard book award (we have that too, at our school). i think you’re in for huntsman. I’m applying to Huntsman too, but my stats are no where as impressive as you. What school do you go to? I take it it’s boarding? Has anyone from your school got accepted into Huntsman before?</p>

<p>Huntsman-Maybe, but no jaw dropping EC’s.
Ivies-Probably in at least 1 or 2
UChicago-Awesome essays and a want to go there and you can do it</p>

<p>No way Huntsman. Korean, 700 CR, from a NY private school. A val with 4s on APs says maybe your school isn’t a top one? Wharton will take maybe 20 kids from NY private schools. Maybe 6 will be Asian. Are you one of the 6 best NY private school students applying? I just don’t see ivies other than maybe a state part of Cornell given scores and ECs in the incredibly competitive Asian NY pool.</p>
