Cornell, UC Berk, CMU, UMich, Georgia Tech

<p>@sonofgod908 First of all, congratulations on your awesome grades and SAT/SAT II scores! They are very strong.
But, I have to be honest and say that college admissions tend to be especially harsh on male asians :confused: But no worries, you have good grades and ECs there (though, I would suggest on improving and adding more ECs such as more competitions, community involvement, etc.). It’s also important to have a good essay and teacher recs to make you stand out from the rest of the asian applicant pool.</p>

<p>I tend to be “conservative” when I chance myself and other people, so please do take my predictions with a grain of salt. :)</p>

<p>Cornell University – reach (mainly because it’s Ivy so A LOT of other Asians will be applying there)
University of California at Berkeley – low reach
Carnegie Mellon University – low reach (strong medical program: Asian attraction)
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor – low reach/match
Georgia Institute of Technology – low reach/match</p>

<p>Something very important to note: What are you majoring in college? Your ECs should reflect that. A future biology major would have a list of science fairs and competitions they’ve been to. A future musical major would have band competitions and performance ensembles on their ECs.</p>
