You have great GPA and SAT scores, but the Math 1 750 might be concerning because you’re planning on majoring in economics. Also, your activities might seem “generic” for an Asian male applying to top schools, even if they are impressive. But I think that if you write great essays that display your personality, you have a great shot!
