<p>You have great stats, but I wouldn't say it's a lock. </p>

<p>What makes you different from all the other applicants? Because of the nature of the game, they are looking for clear admits (applicants who they know they will admit without having to compare against everyone else).</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry about it too much. You definitely have a shot, and you will certainly get in somewhere excellent.</p>

<p>What other schools will you be applying to?</p>

Yeah I think my biggest flaw is that I lack a single defining interest or activity...I wrote my college essay about it lol</p>

<p>Thanks for the reassurance! I'm applying to a ton of schools, but my other top choices at this point are UVA, Duke, Northwestern, and UNC.</p>

<p>I'd say you are quite a strong candidate. Do you intend to run cross-country at D?</p>
