Chances to schools

<p>Wow. After some thought, I've decided to apply to these schools next year. Can you guys evaluate my chances? I'll make this brief.</p>

<p>MIT, Yale, Stanford, Duke, Columbia (ED?), Johns Hopkins, Washington University at St. Louis, Pomona College, Swarthmore College, USC, Cornell </p>

<p>GPA 4.0 UW, 4.7 weighted; top 5% of class (no ranking); probably one or two
SAT old 1500; 780 M 720 V ; planning on New (2300+?)
IIC 790, USH 760, Physics 770, Bio 770, Writing 770</p>

<p>I was really sick on PSAT day, so I messed up</p>

<p>Took hardest possible courseload at one of top public schools in California?
11 AP's including senior year
AP Euro 5, Stats 5
English, Bio, Physics, BC Calc, USH (still waiting)</p>

<p>Taking some online classes with Stanford EPGY</p>

<p>Extra Currics

2. Engineering research with research institute (10-12); design/fabricate new type of robot using patented technology

(I seriously think Wrestling is the best damn thing ever. Going to J ROB! Going to DIE!)
4. Science Club Secretary; Heal the Bay Water Chemistry volunteer

<p>Various awards in Orchestra and Sports, some from Math contests and junk (AMC 12 and Pomona), been through tough stuff in my life, so I'm pretty much independent.</p>

<p>Awesome recs and stuff, essays awesome. Yeah whatever. Can you please help?</p>

<p>I also have around 400-500 COmmunity service hours</p>

<p>you fell to temptation al.</p>

<p>dude, you know what your chances are..</p>

<p>MIT, Yale, Stanford, Duke, Columbia (ED?), Johns Hopkins, Washington University at St. Louis, Pomona College, Swarthmore College, USC, Cornell</p>

<p>from thsoe schools, you have a good chance at Pomona, USC, and WUSTL. </p>

<p>Yale, Cornell, and any Ivy League is always a reach/gamble for ANYBODY.</p>

<p>Stanford is pretty good. but they hate your school. thanks to a certain Princeton student. Duke looks good, though. Johns Hopkins is tough, but if you write a good essay, it's good.</p>

<p>not bad chances. ivy leagues are a crap shoot</p>

<p>if you don't get in i'd like to see who they pick'd over you.</p>

<p>those are some truly impressive scores.</p>
