<p>A 2120/33 makes HYPS, Georgetown, and Duke unlikely for a white male with no unique extracurriculars.</p>

<p>^ Yeah that.</p>

<p>No, you can’t possibly have any bit of a chance whatsoever.</p>

<p>Top 25, and esp. ivies are crapshot for everyone. You ‘qualify’ for like the ‘mid’ to upper ivies and stuff. From what you have, pretty good standing.</p>

Your " average scores" and " average EC: 1 outstanding is better than 10 average " will not be impressive for Ivies; Duke & Georgetown admission. Unless you have any hook or you are a recruited athlete, you chance is not high, but you can always try best on your essays and letters.
