<p>This is just a brief highlight thing..so yeah i'd appreciate both positive and negative feedback</p>

<p>Your SAT will need to come up for a few of these places (Penn, Duke, etc), but the research you've done should help you quite a bit; it sounds remarkable. Your class rank isn't terrible, but it's not outstanding, either; is that 3.82 GPA weighted or unweighted? Your APs are great, assuming you keep up the trend of 4s and 5s. The self-study is impressive; be sure to mention it in interviews! I'd say you're probably in at U of Illinois and possibly one or both of the Boston schools and have a decent shot at Wash U and U of Michigan. U Chicago, Penn, and Duke are probably more reaches for you, and the other schools I don't know enough about to guess your chances.</p>

<p>unweighted!
by the way I have much more ECs...but I just didn't list them cuz I thought it'd just be a boring moment for u guys.</p>

<p>Thanks for the comment!
Anyone else?</p>
