I have a potentially fatal disease, and my life is up to... CHANCE (me)!!!

<p>wow. wow. you’ll probably end up getting into all of them except maybe Harvard, Brown, Penn, and Duke because you just never know. I say Yale is a definite possibility/very likely.</p>

<p>Harvard (w/ recs from important alum) - crapshoot
Yale (Legacy, father VERY involved w/ school) - it’s a reach, but a VERY realistic one. you’ll probably get in
Penn - reach
Duke - low reach
Emory - high match
Georgetown (EA) - low reach/high match
Brown - reach
Columbia - reach
U-Mich - low match and not safety because you’re out of state
Villanova (EA) - safety
BC (EA) - match</p>

<p>just know that Georgetown and BC are restrictive EA, just like Yale, so you can’t apply to all three.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
