<p>For most top tier universities, no one on CC is capable of giving a proper assessment.</p>

<p>I think you’re well aware that you have quite the laundry list of accomplishments so all that you need to know is that you’re a competitive applicant. No one can realistically assess if you’re going to get in save for an adcom.</p>
