You have the stats for all of those places. Now you have to make the case that you will add a something extra interesting to the class at Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Stanford, and that you really want to go to all the rest. For Duke and the Ivies, maybe New Jersey will be a bit of a problem for you due to the need for geographic diversity, but you will likely hit on a couple. For Northwestern, Tulane, UVA AND Tufts, show lots of interest, knowledge and enthusiasm about attending, or you will fall victim the schools’ legitimate desire not to offer a spot to someone who will not really want to go there, or who will be a morale downer or a transfer risk if they do matriculate. (People with uber stats get rejected from those places all the time – check out their respective threads if you have any doubt.). Congratulations on your stellar record to date. All the best!
