<p>No thoughts?</p>

3

<p>I think your chances are excellent!!!! Good luck!</p>

4

<p>Thanks! Anyone else?</p>

5

<p>anyone? 10chr</p>

6

<p>you're still ranked within the top 10%, which is good, and everything else seems excellent. I'd second the notion that you'd have a great chance to get into any one of the schools you listed (great recs/essays notwithstanding)</p>

7

<p>Thanks! Any others?</p>

8

<p>Tufts, WUSTL and Gtown are reaches, though reasonable. GWU is a match.</p>

9

<p>Is GW a match or safety? I'm already into u of Arizona but I would be very unhappy there, so it is my complete last ditch effort. I'm hoping GW can be my safety though. Thoughts?</p>

12

<p>I think you have good chances at these schools. Good luck!</p>

13

<p>I think you have a very good chance for GW, but it's not what I would consider a safety. To me a safety means a sure thing.</p>

<p>Wow, we have really similar stats and appear to like the same schools. I hope all goes well - both for you and because it would give me great hope! :D</p>

17

<p>GW is a safety, don't worry about it.</p>

18

<p>Phew, thats relieving. If I didn't get in anywhere and ended up at U of A... I would not be a happy camper.</p>

19

<p>Wow, I'm surprised people think I have such great chances, esp at Gtown/WashU :)</p>
