<p>I think you have decent chances at all of them. But then since the colleges your applying to are such crapshoots, that shouldn't be reassuring. I highly recommend applying to at least a few safeties.</p>

<p>Safeties are inconsequential at the moment - if I don't get into any of these (and possibly a few others), I already know where I'm headed...</p>
