<p>Basically, I feel like my stats are strong but I don't have any "big" accomplishments to set me apart.</p>

<p>Chances?</p>

2

<p>Duke, Stanford and Chicago are very selective. Rice is selective as well. Having said that, you’re definitely a competitive applicant. Applying early at one of your reach schools might prove to be beneficial. </p>

3

<p>How about UCSD Jacobs scholarship?</p>

4

<p>As @Misanthrope1‌ said, UChicago, Duke, Stanford, are very selective. Assuming that you like all of them equally, I would say that you should apply to UChicago EA and to Duke (or Rice) ED. I would leave stanford for RD, since they use REA. UCSD should be a match for you. I also predict that Purdue will give you substantial aid, due to your test scores. IU (I assume you are talking about Indiana University) should be a safety for you. I hope I helped :)</p>

<p>Could you chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1662523-i-know-that-stanford-is-a-crapshoot-for-everybody-but-do-i-even-have-a-chance.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1662523-i-know-that-stanford-is-a-crapshoot-for-everybody-but-do-i-even-have-a-chance.html&lt;/a&gt; Thanks! :)</p>

<p>I feel like you go to my school and were probably in classes with me…I’ll just put initials is this KF?</p>

<p>Yes Tola.</p>

<p>you have an extremely good chance at these schools. I would be surprised if you didn’t get into at least half of the ones you listed. good luck!</p>
