<p>NYU-in

Georgetown-ED=90% chance, RD=40% chance
Stanford-EA=30% chance, RD=10% chance
USC-in
Boston U-in
UW-in</p>

<p>Neelesh I have to disagree with the 80% chance at Columbia ED, It is very tough and I know many applicants for ED there that were rejected with the OP's stats or better. 80% is off.</p>

<p>i just got SAT II scores:
Writing 800
Spanish 750
taking math Ic in Dec.
does this make any difference</p>
