First off: Great Stats! I’m impressed. And don’t beat yourself up over the junior year schedule - it probably looks good that you took tough classes.

I think you are in NYU CAS.

As far as Columbia, Penn, and Duke: Your essay will make or break you. I would do something VERY unique…like what if you wrote an essay pretending you were the ping pong ball in the toughest match you have ever had. The ball could compliment you (the player) and could make assumptions about you based on your style or the way you hit it (assumptions that are actually true)…Like (the ball speaking)…He just hit me with a lot of power - a lot of spin - I bet he is good with this hands…Maybe he plays piano? Maybe he gives great massages?

I think adcoms would love it.
