<p>SAT + GPA is looking acceptable for those schools, but your ORM status will hurt you a lot, considering how your extracurriculars seem to be “stereotypical” activities that Asians do.</p>

3

<p>Probably in at Duke, Penn, Emory, but after that who knows? Lots of kids with your stats get in at all of these and lots don’t. The writing score is glaring. In the end, you need an exceptional application that leans you away from the stereotype. GA helps a bit.</p>

<p>Seconded. You should consider retaking the SAT solely to improve your superscored totals.</p>
