<p>UT Austin, UW, OSU, Idaho: most likely IN</p>

<p>Rice, Wash U: Solid chances</p>

<p>Pomona: hard to tell</p>

<p>Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Chicago: reach but you are from idaho…</p>

<p>you will get into some great colleges</p>

<p>good luck to you</p>

3

<p>Ur probably good at most of those but HYS is always unpredictable</p>

4

<p>That’s what I thought. Thank you!</p>

5

<p>I going to say that you’ll get in. Jump rope is just so unique… and it helps that you’re from Idaho. On the whole you are a great applicant and will end up at a top school, but I’m betting you’ll get into Stanford early. </p>

<p>Disclaimer: I hate when people say “it’s HYPSM and it’s a tossup”, - not that it’s not true - mostly because all it does is increases the agony. Please keep that in mind however, and take my predictions with a grain of salt.</p>

6

<p>Of course I shall! No predictions on here are 100% true, so I realize that HYPSM are always difficult to get into. Thanks for the input :)</p>

7

<p>you will get into stanford EA, you may get denied from some of the other colleges RD just because they feel like doing it but who cares… my prediction is 100% true cuz imma bo$$ take my predicitions with a ton of salt</p>

<p>Thanks bigwinner for the confidence…although perhaps false confidence? haha. I’ll let you know how the Stanford EA thing goes and just how much salt I’ll be using.</p>
