<p>Chances? :O</p>

<p>Am I like the only one here who doesn’t go to an even moderately competitive school? Because we only have four AP classes total, and they don’t even offer BC. The graduating class is relatively competitive, one got into MIT, one got into Cornell, a few are going to BU, and eight of them are going to NYU, but that’s somewhat of an exception.</p>

<p>I go to a public sports-type school, our valedictorian got into Duke, this singer is going to Cornell, thats about it.</p>

[Pi_Face]

<p>out of curiousity, how does having a twin help/hurt your chances? I mean, if you’re both great applicants then it helps because if they accept one they prolly will accept the other. were there ever any exceptions to this? i guess it would hurt if you both sucked, cuz they would have to admit neither or both, so they would choose neither.</p>

[Pjax]

<p>Any actual advice…lol</p>

[HiPeople]

<p>Your internships are very impressive, and I think that and hospital volunteering will help your chances. I cant give you a yes or no becuase Im really new to this college admissions thing. Nevertheless, good luck! Im also applying class of 2014 like you.</p>
