<p>I think mathnerd was joking. No one can ever be sure, but your record looks very good. Make sure your essays are well thought out and and I think you will have a very good chance.</p>

<p>12 AP+ classes in a reasonable hs sounds pretty demanding. The SATs are credible. OK EC. Real research.</p>

<p>"had appendicitis attack" sounds like a potentially interesting essay if you have any souvenirs. Sounds like you have a passion for your vision. Sounds like a decent application, give it a shot.</p>
