<p>Sounds cool, I think that the research you did at UChicago is really going to help you out! I wish my school gave rankings...</p>

<p>It seems to me that your chances are good. Youre SATs arent like amazingly high but definitely won't hold you back. Everything else is strong.
Youre my competition, but Good Luck! Maybe I will see you in PLME 2007 :)</p>
