<p>Your statistics and extracurriculars are very good, however most of those schools are very selective. They tend to have an acceptance rate <20% which means they receive many applicants such as your self but are unable to accept them all, Nonetheless, you seem to have a good chance of being accepted. To get a better sense of how your “science research” will influence your application, can you describe what type of research you did, maintaining brevity? </p>

<p>also could you describe “chess titles” </p>
