<p>Your stats are very nice–maybe your CR is a little low (the Ivies generally like to see a high CR.) 750+ would be ideal, if you feel confident you can get that.</p>

<p>Where do you live?</p>

<p>The ECs don’t wow me, although it might be the way you’re presenting them here, but they’re certainly adequate enough. I would say if you raise your CR you have a very good shot at Dartmouth and Penn–I’m assuming CAS, not Wharton–and Columbia and especially Stanford will be harder, but you’re definitely in the range of competitive applicants.</p>

<p>Hopefully you have matches and safeties, though? XD</p>

<p>Looks pretty solid. Sounds like you have an interest in politics? You should emphasize that in your essays.</p>
