Super standard generic Asian applicant with no real hooks or insane extracurriculars. High reaches for all except UNC-CH and NC State.

3

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats are amazing and they make you qualified for any of these schools. Get more leadership in your ECs and get more awards. Write great essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools

You extracurriculars seem a bit generic so I would work on developing a bigger spike in STEM. A problem is that you haven’t done a lot of your extracurriculars for a long time so it seems as if you slapped on a bunch of extracurriculars for college apps. I don’t think you have a big chance for many of these schools except for NC-State and UNC-CH.
