<p>you have a shot everywhere you listed</p>

<p>WashU will probably love you. KU is your in-state institution, so I can't see you getting turned down.</p>

<p>MIT and Cornell will be reaches no matter what. You really do have a shot at all of those schools. If you bring up your SAT, you'll be really formidable.</p>

<p>any more comments...</p>

<p>I will second the fact that you have a decent chance everywhere. </p>

<p>I wonder if coming out of Kansas will help you as colleges attempt to accept students from all 50 states and you seem like a very competitive Kansas applicant (correct me if this is erroneous).</p>

<p>I don't know how you can be "first generation" and "Born in US" simutaneously.</p>

<p>hoganwan - first generation refers to the fact that his parents didn't go to college</p>

<p>oh.. I thought it referred to first generation to America, my bad.</p>
