Aside from this, I have a very unique hook that is extremely personal and that I talk about in my CommonApp essay, and I would not like to share right now. Ignoring Letters of Rec and Essays ratings (those would be my opinion and not factually sound), how do my stats look?

Your stats are great, which means you have a 5% chance of getting accepted :slight_smile: Seriously, though…it’s nothing to stress over. Send an application and see what happens. Just shop around and apply to a variety of schools you can afford. Consider scholarships too. In my opinion, they’re a much better deal.

I agree with @coolguy40. For schools at this level, there really are only two possible answer to “chance me” questions:

For students with great stats, which includes you, your chances are about the same as the overall acceptance rates at each school – which means in the 5% to 10% range depending upon the school.

For students with average stats, which is not you, their chances are quite a bit worse.

I appreciate that telling us what your unique hook is might not be compatible with the “confidential” part of “college confidential”, and depending upon what this hook is your chances might be better.
