Crisis! Blunt honesty needed

<p>i bet you're guaranteed to most except yale/duke!</p>

<p>Bottom line, OP, is that instead of asking a board of anonymous strangers, none of which probably are adcoms at the colleges you're considering -- you'd be better off researching the acceptance policies at the colleges that you're considering, and adding some true safeties to your list.</p>

<p>Sure, you have a chance of getting into any of the colleges on your list. However, not one is a sure bet college. On CC, last spring, there was an infamous situation in which a mom posted about a son with stronger stats and ECs than yours who applied to colleges similar to yours and got only rejections. </p>

<p>Save yourself that kind of heartache: Find and apply to some safeties that you'd love to attend. Do not rely on well intended, but uninformed reassurances from strangers and friends.</p>

<p>yeah, id apply to one real safety that isn't in the top 20</p>
