<p>I appreciate any and all comments, and thank you all for helping me through the college selection process :)</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at all of the colleges you listed. You might only want to send your ACT score though.</p>

3

<p>When you say good... do you mean above average? over 50%? 25%? Could you be a little more specific :)</p>

4

<p>You listed your GPA (Frosh-Junior) incorrectly. (probably a typing error)</p>

<p>Look, your test scores are the best possible (including the APs) and the GPA in your sophomore and junior years are outstanding--thus the only thing holding you back is your freshman grades.</p>

<p>Stanford, Princeton, and the UCs don't count freshman grades, so if you like those schools apply to them. You still have good chances at Duke and Chicago also, but your chances are better at the other ones.</p>

<p>As far as percentages:</p>

<p>Duke--40% to 45%
Univ of Chicago--45% to 50%
Princeton--50% (you have to remember it ranks #1 this year in USNW, so even with the 3.9 GPA and perfect scores, it's tough to get in)
Stanford--55% to 60%--you went to debate camp there twice--that has to count for something
UC Berkeley/UCLA--65% (even as an out-of-state applicant)
UCSD--70%
UCSB/UCD/UCI--75%
UCSC/UCR/UCM--95%</p>

<p>You're right, 3.663, thanks for spotting that! :) and for the percents</p>

6

<p>Duke--40% to 45%?
Univ of Chicago--45% to 50%?</p>

<p>The odds s/b much higher than that</p>

7

<p>With your record, based on what I've seen over the last five years, you will get into all of these schools.<br>
A recommendation: Change your handle. Omnislasher is scary. You probably think it is funny. Many others might not.
Good luck (but you won't need it).</p>

<p>My little brother made this handle, sorry. :)</p>

<p>Agreed. Good shot at all the schools you've listed. Don't get too cocky, though. Make sure you apply to a few somewhat less selective schools and some safeties.</p>

<p>By the way, Wash U - 50%</p>

10

<p>I wish, I live in Mid-west, acceptance rate for mid-west is **** I thought</p>

11

<p>Calcruzer... you know the overall acceptance rate at U. Chicago is 40%? And this guys gets a 45%-50%? I think he's a match.</p>

12

<p>I just really cant decide what college I want to go to..
Stanford
WashU
Duke
UChicago
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Columbia
Dartmouth
:( tips for narrowing these down?</p>
