<p>First of all, please stop posting your statistics everywhere, repeatedly:</p>

<p>Original Post: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=154652%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=154652&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Secondly, please stop lying and saying "My first choice is DUKE," when its obvious that whenever you post in a college forum you simply change that to the college of choice (UVA, UNC, etc).</p>

<p>If you really want some honest criticism about your stats, post it under the "What Are My Chances" forum on the first page.</p>

<p>Unless your essays reflect the same spelling troubles that you demonstrate on this thread, triple-700s should leave you pretty much golden as a URM, and a 3.7 2100 was probably reasonably competitive in the first place.</p>
