<p>Your stats and EC’s indicate that you are certainly qualified. However, much depends on your teacher recommendations, essays, guidance counselor’s secondary school report and how they stack up against other students who have similar stats. My honest guess is that you are definitely in the ballpark. Beyond that, no one can truly say what chance you have. Best of luck to you in the admissions process.</p>

<p>Your posting on multiple fora asking the same thing. You’re def qualified – for every one of them. Congrats! </p>

<p>But the types of schools you’re targeting have single digit admit rates. Certainly they accept students like you but they also reject many students like you. I wouldn’t worry about your relative “chances” or even the replies you get to your other queries (anyone who gives you a X percent is talking through his hat). Just focus on having a super Senior year and make the most of it. Whatever else, you’ll have great options next April. Best of luck to you.</p>
