<p>tkx for ur inputs</p>

<p>looking good, nothing unique though.. but your olympiad awards will def help</p>

3

<p>Replace the y with the ie and add an s.</p>

<p>No, really, there's no way you can chance people for this stuff. You're in the ballpark but who can say.</p>

4

<p>I'd say shoe-in b/c of USA Math Camp (like top 40 or something in the country in math?).</p>

5

<p>There's no such thing as a shoe-in at Stanford or MIT, nj<em>azn</em>premed.</p>

<p>But you do have a good chance nonetheless.</p>

6

<p>wait, are you asking for chances to Ivies or to Stanford/MIT?
and if you're asking for Ivies, which ones?</p>

7

<p>yeah i agree. also, in my opinion it would be much harder to get into Stanford and MIT, especially if you don't live in CA or MA..</p>
