<p>bummmmp. c’mon guys, im a nervous senior!</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at all of your schools, but with many of the schools on your list (excluding rutgers), it’s hit or miss because they receive many qualified applicants. You have a lot going for you so just make sure your essay and recommendations makes you stand out among all the other applicants.</p>

<p>Thanks! hopefully its a “hit” and not a “miss” though!</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

Cornell: slight reach
Vandy: slight reach
Wash U in St. Louis: slight reach
Emory: high match</p>

<p>You’ve got good chances everywhere, you should be in at GW and Rutgers, but everywhere else is going to be a toss-up because they receive so many good applicants. If I had to bet, I’d say you’ll get acceptances from GW, Northwestern, and Wash-U, plus quite a few waitlists. Oh and ignore unholy_ender, hes a tool.</p>

9

<p>Hm, looks like I’m pretty much borderline for most of these places. Well, I’ll give them a shot anyway! Thanks a lot for the chances!</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>
