<p>@Alpha101, I don’t know what you are posting in imsocool’s thread.</p>
<p>@imsocool22- This is a little tricky without knowing your test scores, but based on everything else and the fact you are black, you stand an above average chance at all of the schools you listed.</p>
<p>I am not going to say you will get in for sure, as Ivy League can be a bit random, but I give you a 75% chance at any of the Schools.</p>
<p>@Alpha101 First off, your EC’s are all worthless for the most part. Do not post in another’s thread.</p>
<p>Oh wow , my bad guys.
I just joined this website and thought this was a forum, meant no disrespect.
Still trying to figure things out</p>
