<p>Your a good candidate for all these schools, but they recieve so many qualified apps that nothing is for sure. I'd say apply to around 10 of your fav top schools, including the 4 mentioned plus say...Cornell, Harvey Mudd (great for math), Wash U...I'm just listing good schools now..</p>

<p>aimdecoy, yes I did mean Stanford (as I type Standford again, lol)</p>

<p>I know top 15% isn't that great, but remember that this is unweighted GPA. Also, this is a school that sent 16 to Harvard, 9 to Yale, 6 to MIT, 2 to Caltech, and 7 to Stanford last year. (<a href="http://www.andover.edu/cco/matrics/default.asp%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.andover.edu/cco/matrics/default.asp&lt;/a&gt;)
That's almost 15% of the class right there.</p>

<p>Whooooo go NOSB! We had 16 teams I think. We were quarterfinalists, which wasn't bad considering it was our first time and we were ONE QUESTION from beating the team that eventually won first in quarters. AHH. I knew the answer to the question, but answered it wrong because I was too quick to buzz (I said more salt --> more electrical conductivity, but the answer was "less" because the question was backwards or something AHHHHH).</p>

<p>We are SO winning next year. See you at nationals. :D</p>

34

<p>what about these colleges: RPI, Harey Mudd, Olin, Princeton</p>

35

<p>oh and UC berekely too</p>

36

<p>bump chars</p>

<p>I know your school sends a lot to Harvard and Yale each year, but I believe a fair percentage of those are legacies, maybe not each year, but when looked at, say, in five year spans.</p>

38

<p>you go to phillips? sweet :) i'm at (current) junior the local high school (ahs), hehe... i know so many people at andover! your stats are good for a school as competitive as phillips but yeah... even though they send a lot of people to HYP each year, the percentage going to schools like BU and so forth are signifigantly greater, lol...</p>

<p>i'd say high match/low reach for cmu/stanford
reaches for the rest... seeing as all the ivies are crapshoots anyways. </p>

<p>best of luck!</p>
