<p>Wow... your stats sound alot line mine, and same with your Research. I too am conducting research and getting it published. </p>

<p>As far of your chances, you have chances at all of them, but make sure you work hard on your essays, and make sure they can see your personality behind them.</p>

<p>Also, if you get interviews, make sure you do some research about that school.</p>

<p>Goodluck</p>

<p>I'm working with a mentor. My mentor is working on publishing a recently completed project. I'm not actually publishing it myself - there's actually alot you need to do before it gets published.</p>
