<p>What is it you want us to tell you? Your stats are all within or above the typical range. Congratulations. You’re now at the mercy of the admissions committee.</p>

<p>Yeah… um you are probably fully aware you’re a strong candidate for any school. That applies to Georgetown as well</p>

<p>I wasn’t trying to be obnoxious, but as I’m sure you can understand I am preoccupied thinking about December 15th and I thought I’d give this a shot since everybody seems to do it. I wasn’t fishing for compliments. </p>

<p>Nate, you seem to have equally impressive stats and have posted some “chance me” threads, also.</p>

<p>Now that’s what I call grade inflation</p>

<p>Sorry if my tone came off as a bit too harsh, but I’m sure you know that you’re a solid applicant. No one will be able to tell you much beyond that. </p>

<p>In my defense, your SAT is 120 points higher than mine.</p>
