<p>Your stats are really impressive. A student with those stats is usually considered to be among the top 5% of all the applicant pool. Its a huge plus for you.
But, you must remember that the selection procedure is really random in case of international students. </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>I’d say your stats qualify you for those schools, but do in no way guarantee admission. You’ve met the criteria, the determining factor will be your essays and recs.</p>
