Hi there, I’m Korean too…

Anyway… I think you need to write really strong essays for all the other RD schools you’re applying to. And possibly try raising that verbal and writing SAT scores…? But I guess it all depends on what field you want to major in…
And you’re considered as a foreign/international student right?
It’s impressive that you’re doing 10 IB/AP courses… which IB subjects do you take?
I do the full IB diploma…
Do you do the extended essay and TOK as well?
I think with a good essay and the list of stuff you mentioned… you will have a good chance at most of those schools.
As for UVA, maybe send improved SAT scores… and possibly improved school grades? I’ve heard that if you get deferred from a school, you have to really show how much you’re keen and be persistent… and keep showing interest… that will definitely work to your advantage. Good luck on that! :)

Johns Hopkins U, Northwestern U will probably be a reach, but I think you definitely have a shot… try raising SAT scores though.
NYU (freshman in florence program) - good chance here. are you sure you wanna do the florence program though? i have a friend there now…
Cornell U (ILR) - i’m not sure what ILR is but again I think you have a shot… just make sure you’re app is very strong.
UVA - be persistent and show them that you’re very interested… take action!
College of William and Mary - i’m pretty sure you’ve got a good shot here… i’ve got a friend that goes here and he lovesss it! he did IB too… and lived in Alexandria
Wellesley College - a reach, but i’m sure with a strong app you’ll have a shot.

Match: i’m sure you’ll have good chances here!
Boston University
George Washington U.
Mary Washington U.
James Madison U.
