<p>It’s just about always up in the air for EVERYONE in regards to HYP/Columbia. Though, that’s great that your dad went there. Legacy, nice. Upenn, Duke, and Amherst you’ve got a pretty good chance. I wouldn’t be too worried about John Hopkins and Tufts. Best of luck!</p>

<p>thanks for your reply! so am i in the running for all of those schools? can any one else give me opinions/advice?
thanks!</p>

6

<p>you have a pretty good chance.</p>

7

<p>at all of them??
thanks so much for your feedback!</p>

<p>Wow, you look like a great candidate for all of those. I’d say you’d have some turbulence with the HYP; you shouldn’t have any for JHU, Tufts, Penn.</p>
