<p>What do you think? Yes, my course load is heavy; I sleep 4 hours a day and skip some classes just so that I can keep up.
I'm not one of those competitive "college admission" types who pads my resume; I can honestly see myself at these schools.</p>

<p>If you need more information, I would be glad to give it.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>In addition, although my school is very poor, I most definitely won’t qualify for any URM, given that I’m Jewish (did I mention that I’m fluent in Yiddish?) and my family income is $1,000,000+.</p>

<p>Also, I don’t know if this will help me or hurt me, but both my parents went to Yale, my brother went to Stanford, and my other brother and sister attended UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>BUMP - I would really appreciate any feedback.</p>

<p>Did you seriously take differential equations in high school? And for your question you’ve got all the requiremnts Ivy League schools are unpredictable do good on your essays and you’ll do great</p>

<p>Linear algebra?? Damn bro</p>
