<p>Hi guys, not sure what my chances are for colleges because of my poor freshman and sophomore years. basically i attended a lecture my sophomore year and it inspired me to really utilize my abilities and i transformed my life but I'm not sure where I stand college wise. I am applying to bc, villanova, boston university, cornell, john hopkins, mit, harvard, yale, stanford, princeton, upenn, dartmouth, duke, columbia, u michigan, university of madison wisconsin, and georgetown. If anyone had the time it would be great to know my chances and stuff so I'm not too dissapointed or surpised when I'm either rejected or accepted. The thing that I think makes me stand out from all other applicants is because I had a really good junior year and basically took the sats and sat 2s all then with a lot less knowledge than everyone else in math and physics (because I slacked off freshman year and soph year in physics and algebra 2/geometry respectively) and along with 300 hours and maintaing grades/ courseload in the top 10% of my class for the year, i was at a huge disadvantage than everyone else because it was my first year actually doing stuff. so i hope the drastic change/ my reason for it (really wanting to give back and utilize my gifts) helps make up for that. my back up schools are drexel, tufts, and wheelock). Any feedback on all of this would be greatly appreciated!
