You’ve cited your Asian heritiage a number of times. What you need to do to stand out amongst the other highly qualified (and perhaps high SAT scoring) Asians is to stop being test obsessed like them. Like Gibby says: your scores get you in the door. Your next step is to be unique. What will you bring to the college besides the fact that you’re studious?

I was accepted to multiple Ivies despite having a SAT/ACT about the 30th percentile of the entering classes. But I had a compelling and atypical story than other Asian applicants. What’s your story? You may or may not have one, to be frank. This is your hurdle.
