<p>Hey all! I'm currently a Junior and extremely stressed about the college application process. I'd like some honest evaluations about my chances of getting into these colleges. I know most of the elite schools are seemingly crapshoots, but I'd still like some opinions outside of my guidance counselor's. </p>
<p>These are the schools I'd appreciate opinions on:
----- UVa (my #1 choice)
----- Georgetown
----- Bowdoin
----- UT Austin
----- UNC - Chapel Hill
----- UC Berkeley
----- UCLA</p>
<p>Sorry that it is so many. If you choose to respond to only one, I'd very much appreciate it; You'd win major brownie points!</p>
<p>STATE: Connecticut</p>
<p>LEGACY STATUS
- I am a double legacy at UVa; my father and sister attended UVa.

- I am a legacy at Bowdoin; my sister attended Bowdoin</p>
