<p>Thank you for reading/replying!</p>

<p>you’d definitely get in if you applied ed or rd. your stats and ecs are amazing. where are you planning to ed?</p>

<p>…haha…its people like you who make me nervous about my own chances. You’d have to attach a resume to encompass all your mighty achievements, as there is nowhere enough room on the PDF for that. :)</p>

<p>Thanks guys any more opinions?</p>

<p>I would say you are in.</p>

<p>You deserve to be in.</p>

<p>Hopefully, they won’t reject you for some specious reason-----because you are asian and /or from Massachusetts, because those two categories are “over-represented”.</p>

<p>In!
10 char</p>

<p>You can’t predict college admissions (especially at Duke and its peers) but I think you will get in with RD.</p>

<p>you have a good shot but remember the super competitive college admissions process makes it impossible to predict or assume anything. literally ANYTHING can happen. good luck!</p>

<p>You’ve got a good chance! But since you’re asian, it might be more difficult. I would apply to a lot of schools that are ranked in the top 15. You are a match for any of them and because it’s often a crapshoot, you’re likely to get into at least a couple of them with that resume! But just remember with this top privates, you never know what’s going to happen. Best of luck!</p>

<p>first off, I would say definitely, the only thing I would say is you could be over qualified but I doubt. And more importantly, brookline in da house! Watch you know bout that Kumon math center? </p>

<p>Also, enjoy Mr. Freidlan for BC (name is spelled wrong) dood is the dankness. And Good luck!</p>
