<p>Don’t be scared. You seem to have carefully analyzed your own credentials and selected the right mix of colleges for your background. You should get in to at least 5 and there is not one that is really a big reach…so I’m thinking you are in at least 7 of these.</p>

<p>You sound like a great kid. This will sound awful, but many many schools are slightly more accepting of SLIGHTLY lower HS grades from guys. They don’t talk about it much. Guys tend to just have more trouble focusing on the things that make you successful in high school…like homework. Girls tend to be more compliant. In order to not have a class of all girls, they look at the complete picture of a guy. And having both boys and girls…I think it is somewhat warranted.</p>

<p>oh wow that’s a really interesting fact…
I really appreciate your time guys. Thanks.</p>
