<p>Probably the easiest chance I’ve ever done. Most of these schools are reaches (for everyone) but I honestly think Yale and Princeton will take you because of the legacy and URM (you would still be considered a very competitive applicant without legacy or URM).
Princeton- Accepted. (possible waitlist though I doubt this)
UChicago- Same as above
Cornell- Accepted
UCI- Accepted
UCLA- Accepted
UCSD- Accepted
You’re a very competitive applicant. I wish you the best luck (though you don’t seem like you need much). Chance me back when I post later on (I’ll come back with a link). Warning: I’m no where near as impressive as you are.</p>

<p>Holy ■■■■. I think you’re in everywhere. Congratulations on all your achievements!</p>

<p>I’d say you have an excellent chance at the UC’s. Don’t believe anyone who says you’re “in” at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, or UChicago. Don’t misunderstand me. You are <em>extremely</em> competitive for those schools. If they really match your interests, you should certainly apply.</p>
