Hi, I’m a senior (Class of 2016) and I was wondering about my chances for Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. I know it’s extremely competitive and a crap shoot and whatnot, but I just felt like posting this would somehow calm me down. I’ll try to keep this short and sweet.
I’m an Asian female from Alabama.
