<p>This isn’t the chancing section, but you will get the best advice from your college counselor most likely because they will have better info on how kids from your school actually do. And private schools have good, professional advisors, not the amaetur handicappers and no nothing hs students here. I don’t think Pitzer and MHC seem long shots, but your other colleges look like good bets.</p>
