<p>You are probably in like almost everywhere you apply as an AAF with those scores and valedictorian. If I were you, I would’ve applied just about everywhere, but that’s just me.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good shoot, just in comparison with reading accepted profiles. The main concerns that could bring you down would be perhaps the quality of your school (though being valedictorian helps a ton), and the fact that although your awards are fantastic, it would be nice to have a few more, and more well-rounded. Also, if you talk about going into music, then I think that’s great, but if you’re going into something else your awards make less of an impact. Volunteering seems pretty solid, and lots of EC, though perhaps a bit weak on the leadership. I think you’ve got a shot, and at this point no one can really say what’ll happen besides that. Good luck!

<p>Good shot at all.</p>

<p>You have a very good chance at all of the schools you’ve listed. Your SAT is phenomenal, your SAT2s are also good, your GPA and rank are obviously the best possible, and being an African American is a big help as well. Good luck! If you get the chance, could you [chance</a> me back](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1291738-chances-swarthmore-princeton-vassar-cornell-w-midyear-report-updates.html]chance”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1291738-chances-swarthmore-princeton-vassar-cornell-w-midyear-report-updates.html)?</p>

<p>Your chances are honestly pretty good. While you might not have the 2400 on the SAT, you come EXTREMELY CLOSE. Your SAT II scores aren’t the best but they’re definitely not bad. They are much better than I can say. And an unweighted GPA of 4.0 is the best you can do. I know that admissions are a crapshoot and you never know but I would say your chances are better than most. Some people with similar stats as you have been rejected but some with not as good states have been accepted. I think your ethnicity does help you out. But you have obviously worked hard in school and not just relied on your race to get you through. I wish you luck!(:</p>

<p>I’d be surprised if you didn’t get in.</p>
