<p>Outstanding academics and extracurriculars; you know how it is with the Ivies being so unpredictable, but it looks like you’ve got a great shot.</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Stanford: impossible to chance for sure, but it looks like you can get in
All others: In</p>

<p>Chance back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1118399-chance-theatre-acting-inclined-junior-ill-chance-you-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1118399-chance-theatre-acting-inclined-junior-ill-chance-you-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think that your application is very strong. You seem to have taken a very difficult course load that you have excelled in. Your EC’s are strong as well so I think you’re prettty much in for all these schools except for Harvard, Yale, Stanford just because of the unpredictability of their selections. I think you have a solid chance though.</p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1118501-chance-me-good-pure-applied-math-schools-ill-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1118501-chance-me-good-pure-applied-math-schools-ill-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt; Thanks!</p>
