<p>Good to go at Cornell and the UCs. Good shot at Chicago and Duke. The rest are the lotteries, who knows?</p>

<p>Agree with poster above. You've got the stats and ECs to get into Stanford, Columbia, and Amherst. Problem is, so do most of the kids who apply to those schools, so the competition is fierce. You should apply, though. My guess is you'll get into at least one of the three...No telling which one, though.</p>

<p>Ic Ic, should I apply to the one I watn to go to most SCEA?</p>

<p>Yeah. Apply SCEA to the school where you want to go most, but prepare all your other apps as well. Realistically, there's about a 3 out of 4 chance you'll be sending in the other apps.</p>
