<p>You are just as much of a competitive candidate as anybody else applying to these top schools. Stop worrying about the specifics, because honestly, with stats like yours you are going to end up going somewhere great. Just apply to the ones you see as a good fit, apply to your top choice ED, and hope for the best. Not much else you can do.</p>

<p>thank you for the kind words!</p>

<p>Your stats are as good as anyone else’s who will get accepted. As long as they find something special about you that catches their eye then you will have a VERY good shot at getting into any school. Work on showing an individuality that other people with high test scores won’t have.</p>
