<p>Hey, I'm a junior and am interested in Duke, Northwestern, Penn, USC, Michigan, Stanford, and Harvard. Please help me and tell me if my stats are good enough. I think I have decent test scores and am in the middle range for all of these schools, but I don't know if my EC's are good/special enough. The same goes for my volunteering. Anyways, please give me advice. I know that Stanford and Harvard are crazy and I am thinking of them more like "why not" schools. OK, here are my stats:</p>
