<p>What are my chances for Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford? (Note: I'm applying for Stanford Early Action.) ** Important **</p>

<p>I am also applying to Caltech (comparing myself to students from my school from previous years, I think I'll get in) and UC's (safety).</p>

<p>This following is for if I'm not good enough: ** Important **</p>

<p>If I don't get into Stanford early, I'll also apply to MIT. If you don't think my chances at Stanford are good, then also comment on my chances for MIT.</p>

<p>I'm also doing research over the summer. If you believe I have <50% chance at any of the schools, then re-evaluate my chances if I get on Intel/Siemens: (a) Semifinalist (b) Finalist.</p>

<p>dang, i’m fairly certain that you have a great shot at all of these schools because of your rank, gpa, and sat scores. I think it all comes down to essay for you, because your other areas appear to be spotless.</p>

<p>You’re applying to a bunch of top notch schools, and i’m sure you’ll get into one of them</p>

<p>You’ll get in wherever your apply =)</p>

<p>Great stats, I definitely agree w/ Allexas. You should be a shoo in at HYPS as long as you; have interesting and passionate essays. Anyways you shouldn’t give that much personal information about yourself on CC, your initials are TJ right?</p>

<p>Nice stats. HPS admissions are hard to predict, but you have a really good shot. You should totally apply to MIT, what with all the olympiads and science/math ECs.</p>
