<p>you seem like a very strong candidate- but remember: it is not uncommon for top schools to turn down students with 2400's !!</p>

<p>You'll almost certainly be accepted at BC, and you're a very strong applicant at Harvard, MIT, and WashU. Being from Wyoming should help. All these schools are interested in a good geographical mix of kids, and kids from Wyoming with stats like yours are rare as 40 caret diamonds, which makes you very attractive. This is not to say, however, that your stats and home state are guarentees of admission, so make sure you also apply to 2 or 3 good, but less selective schools and a couple of safeties as well.</p>

<p>You live in Wyoming? You should be in...</p>

5

<p>Very good chance at Harvard. In at WashU with merit$</p>

6

<p>Wyoming locale increases the odds way up, at least for getting in the one of the Ivy's somewhere</p>

7

<p>I agree with the others--your stats and activities are unusual for someone from Wyoming. You should be in at most schools listed.</p>

8

<p>Wyoming...they have internet in wyoming? J/k...i'm from a state that sucks too (of course, i'm assuming you think wyoming sucks). Obviously, great chance, especialy with geography.</p>

9

<p>I have a feeling that MIT will accept you if you come across as fun-loving in your application.</p>

10

<p>i think you'll be in at WUSTL and BC, definitely. </p>

<p>MIT...ehh.. depends.. they require a bunch of short answer and they have their own essay.</p>

<p>wyoming will help. haha good luck w/ harvard!</p>

11

<p>good shot....good luck...</p>

12

<p>mmmmmmmmmkay</p>

13

<p>I'm not sure about MIT, but being from Wyoming and all..I think all but Harvard and MIT look like slight-match/reaches. Good luck!</p>

14

<p>Great chances. Write unique essays because your extracurriculars aren't particularly unique...that is your only "weakness." Apply to some more reach schools, you could definitely get in</p>

15

<p>no shots in all...try northeastern as reach, uh....maybe california community college would be a good match..u hav a good chance for a $1000 scholarship at this random tech school...good safety...</p>

<p>jk... good chance in all..but still..they are random...</p>

16

<p>datadriven- will wyorunr have to apply for merit $$ at WashU, or will he be considered automatically by just applying?</p>

17

<p>BC, WashU ur in. others are reaches</p>
