<p>With your stats you're a competitive applicant everywhere. I don't know why you're doing a general chance thread with such strong stats. The only reaches are going to be Princeton and MIT because they're reaches for everyone. You should try going to the MIT and Princeton threads and posting there. John Hopkins, Cornell, and Duke are the only colleges that might be a high match.</p>

<p>Woah, your test scores are amazing!</p>

<p>Alright, thanks. I guess I'll try posting this in the college-specific boards to get some more responses for my reach schools.</p>
