Dear aryan0007,

You have a competitive profile for your target schools with many positives. While you don't have any glaring weaknesses, the challenge for any applicant to a top program is distinguishing his/her application from the competition. It seems you might have some unique experiences to write about that might help differentiate you from similar applicants--think about how you want to present your background and what might help you to memorably and positively stand out. Finally, you might want to add at least one safety program to your mix as a back up plan since your 7 target schools are all highly selective.

Good luck,
Lisa
