<p>I think this is hilarious…
Subtract a zero from that, and you have my combined annual income… If you’re not rich, then I am currently living in a cardboard box. (I’m not.)</p>
<p>Anyway, I agree with what most other people have said; you’re over-confident. My problem is the opposite of yours; I have a fine GPA but bad (well, not bad, but bad for Ivies and elites) test scores.
I know how horrible it feels to be told this, but those schools are a LONG shot. </p>
<p>I asked a similar question a few days ago, and I was completely disheartened by the responses. They all said that, due to my test scores, I would never be able to get into top-notch schools.
So trust me. I know the feeling. Confidence is great, but being realistic will save you from being hurt in the end. Penn State seems like the best fit out of the schools you’ve listed. </p>
<p>Of course, apply to these schools. You never know what will happen! I’m applying to a few myself with the knowledge that I will most likely be denied. Just don’t send in your application with the expectation of getting an acceptance in return. If you get accepted, yay! If not, you’ll already be prepared for the worst, which will allow you to cope better.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
