<p>You will get into some, dont worry. It is hard to tell acceptances when you are dealing with the ivies. Apply and hope for the best. I think you will get into either H,Y, or P, and more of the lower ivies.</p>

<p>Im like really sure you will get into U of C, they LOVE nerds.</p>

<p>probs upenn? :smiley: your academics are amazing! GOOD JOB!</p>

<p>Mr. Nerd, you are surely going to an elite school (if not HYP)…</p>

5

<p>UChicago-high match
JHU-high match/low reach
Ivies-low to mid reach on account of unpredictability and somewhat lacking Ecs. But if you applied to every Ivy, I would think you would get into at least one. Your stats are basically as perfect as they can get. Good luck :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Chance back please!</p>
