<p>You are definitely in all of them except Stanford is probably a 50-50 chance.</p>

4

<p>you DID grab my attention. good job burger</p>

<p>however. why did you make another thread? if i recall correctly many have told you your chances. are you showing off?</p>

5

<p>nah not many (maybe 5-8)...i just really wanted to catch ppl's attention for the most part.</p>

6

<p>Princeton - Reject</p>

<p>everything else = in</p>

7

<p>In everywhere cept</p>

<p>princeton i'd say you'd have a 50/50 shot</p>

<p>stanford is completely random so i have no idea.</p>

8

<p>I wouldn't say you're definitely in anywhere (except Rutgers and UMich), but this is one time where being black will actually help you (as opposed to getting you framed or stereotyped for crimes).</p>

9

<p>I'd say accepted everywhere.</p>

<p>URM status + awesome stats = IN</p>
