<p>You look good...just keep your grades up your senior year...that upward trend looks great...</p>

<p>I was in a similar postion as you (in terms of grades, location, schools applying to, etc) last year, as were many of my friends. </p>

<p>I believe that you will definitely get into at least one of those schools you listed. However, crazy things happen, so I would add a few good schools that are easier to get into (perhaps nyu, tufts, northwestern). </p>

<p>In addition, I think you should also apply to Havard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. I'm assuming you have something against these schools already, because you haven't listed them with these other great schools. I did the same thing, and I regret it now. The truth is you can't really know anything about a school until you attend. Your stats indicate that you're a smart, motivated young girl, and I see no reason why you shouldn't give those four schools a shot. If you think it's because you have absolutely no chance, take it from me, you do.</p>

<p>I would also try to take the SAT again. Don't get me wrong, your score is great, but ~150 point improvement could do you a world of good.</p>

<p>Message me if you have any other questions, I'd be more than happy to help.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks for the helpful post!</p>

<p>ballerina, you have annother thread that says you got in stanford SCEA in febuary asking how you could do at HYSM and otheres. are you a troll? also, what happend to your perfect SAT, perfect SATs, acting, and stuff. Also, if you are applying to Penn ED, why are you concerned with other colleges, like the 10 other colleges you have chances threads in?</p>

<p>Now that thats out of the way, you have as good a chance as anyone. Your bigest negative is not having a math class senior year (but then again CS is applied math).</p>
