<p>Wow you're applying to all the top schools!
You might have better advice if you post this up on the Chances board.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

4

<p>you're in everywhere.</p>

<p>You know, if you gather up all the people who have been "confirmed" by the CC junkies for admission at Ivy League and other insanely selective schools, the size of that group would be greater than the number admitted OVERALL...</p>

<p>with your GPA and test scores, I think you are in to all of your schools. You are applying to a lot of the same schools as me. Columbia(ED), Harvard, Swarthmore, Amherst, Williams.</p>

<p>are you suggesting that College Confidential confirmed more than 10000 applicants? </p>
