<p>Thanks for all your help and I will chance back!</p>

<p>Please chance. I WILL chance back.</p>

<p>Why would you want opinions of people that don’t even know what they are talking about? If you can’t make an educated guess about your own resume (which you should know better than anyone else), you are not gonna be able to make a good guess on other people’s.</p>

<p>You’ve got several strong key areas, and if you act that nervously with those stats, geez.</p>

<p>@geekorathletic, I want people’s opinions because many of them have been through the college process before and know which schools out of these I have my best shot at.</p>

<p>i’d probably say in at least one of the HYPSM, and probably in @ UPenn, vandy, no caltech, and possibly duke</p>

<p>Those that need “chance back” have NOT been through it before, otherwise they don’t need it.</p>

<p>First off, stick a school on the list that does not make USNWR Top 50. You’ll get good aid and an easy accept. I recommend Tulane based on your pattern (although it does scream prestige-wh*re, as well… don’t tell admissions officers your list ;))</p>

<p>Second, I’d say you’re in at Vandy. Also would say the same for Duke. Otherwise, don’t count on much, but who knows? You’re as good as anyone for the tippy-top schools; a lot of it comes down to you personally, NOT you numbers for those schools. If you feel like everything you’ve done is for real, you’re probably good to go :)</p>

<p>I agree with geekorathletic and OHKID.</p>
