<p>You’re pretty much safe @ all your schools. Mostly due to your 2310. mcon is accurate, cornell and brown are both “matches.” We expect you to get in, but don’t necessarily bet your life on it.</p>

8

<p>im gonna bump this back up before it gets lost in the wayside. REMEMBER I WILL CHANCE BACK</p>

<p>I agree completely. Your EC are much better than the laundry list that most people get. Seems you are passionate and the schools will notice. Seems you can get into all with good essays/rec letters/high demonstrated interest.</p>

About a 90% chance at JHU and Cornell.
80-85% at Brown.
I’m so jealous of your recs. Why didn’t you apply to Harvard?</p>

12

<p>i havent applied anywhere yet. i am gonna apply to harvard, but itll be a longshot for me to get in. that why i didn’t list it. my recs/gpa are kinda too lagging to get me in there haha, but just curious, what are people’s opinions on my chances at harvard?</p>

13

<p>BUMP… i just need a few more opinions. i am kinda paranoid/nervous since when i was younger, i never thought id ever grow up old enough to have to go to college, but here i am now. i need some reassurance/criticism</p>
