<p>Do you really need to be chanced?</p>

3

<p>You possibly have a good chance to get in if this is for real. </p>

<p>I also think you are showing off.</p>

4

<p>If this is not a joke and you don’t screw up your essays, you’re in for sure.</p>

5

<p>Why would you retake a 2370?!</p>

6

<p>Auto reject. Take my word for it.</p>

<p>jk</p>

7

<p>Wow… you’re either fibbing us or you and your family are very fortunate ($$$).</p>

8

<p>cool ■■■■■ bro.</p>

9

<p>lucky duck, i’d KILL for stats like yours =D</p>

10

<p>^ Way ahead of you. I already have MUAHAHAHA.</p>

11

<p>

What makes you say that?</p>

12

<p>jealousy, i’d say</p>

13

<p>question: with a schedule like that do you ever find the time to sleep?</p>

14

<p>China is not a third world country… what are you smoking?</p>

<p>Based on your arrogance on your other chance threads, you simply want an affirmation of your skills. CC is not a place to fish for complements. I won’t be surprised if you’re part of the 50% of 2400 applicants who get rejected.</p>

15

<p>If you act arrogantly in your interviews and essays like the earlier posters mentioned, you can get rejected. But seriously, you have a greater chance than almost all the other applicants to those top schools (provided that you behave well and are NOT arrogant).</p>

16

<p>Solid chance: USAMO and stats should help you out.</p>

17

<p>Also no matter what, do not redo that SAT. It will just hurt you in the eyes of the admission.</p>

18

<p>You didn’t get a 2400 on your first shot? Now Harvard is so rejecting you. :P</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, sir, I am jealous of his application to a university that I am currently attending. That makes sense.</p>

<p>Actually, I called him a ■■■■■ because I looked at his post history. You should do the same.</p>
