<p>I think you're an amazing applicant! Are you a National Merit? You're in at Vandy, Duke, Franklin, WashU, CM, UNC, and possibly Cornell (highly likely). I've seen Stanford make decisions that left me shaking my head in amazement.....I think you have a 60% chance of being admitted to the university. It is the place for the relaxed scholar, you will fall in love with the place. UCB, you have the scores/gpa, but it is the mecca for asian students. MIT, they might give you the nod. Overall, you're going to achieve...I would not be worried, you will definately attend a top-25.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm a National Merit Semifinalist (knew I didn't put something...). Also, I got into Georgia Tech, but didn't get anywhere near President's Scholar. :(</p>

<p>Speaking of Stanford, our Valedictorian got denied ED, and his application was pretty close to mine.</p>

<p>Hold off on GT, you might get better offers. Stanford is wild with their admission process, you might get in!</p>

<p>u shud be into all of those to be honest, def. great odds. Personally if u get into Duke which u shud, i think that wud be ur best school idk y i have a hunch. I think u cud quite possibly get into MIT, ur wicked qualified. Stanford might be a hitch cuz ur ethnicity works against you. Good luck, return the favor?</p>
