<p>I think you're in at all. Not even a question. You will have a very strong application.</p>

3

<p>So far so good. You will obviously have to keep up your grades so don't slack off in the next 2 years!
And you school choices are solid; you might want to have a few more reaches...aim higher.</p>

4

<p>If I were an admissions officer, I'd let you into any of those schools. Looks fantastic in my opinion. FYI, put RPI on the list of schools. ;D</p>

5

<p>So far everything seems very nice, on track, with everything planned out. Lean towards the sciences if MIT is your goal. You should definitely reach a little higher.</p>

6

<p>You're on track for Harvard, should you care to go there. Practically any school in the nation, for that matter.</p>

<p>However, don't slack off AT ALL! That's one mistake I made, and it's really the only mistake I made. Don't necessarily expect to have perfect A's throughout your high school career, but don't be discouraged just because you don't have all A's! You've got to just keep trying, pushing, and doing your best. :)</p>

<p>Good chance at all. Schools will love the fact that you're a scientist/dancer.</p>
