<p>As per usual chance me threads…</p>

<p>1) Objectively: scores great, courseload great, GPA great, ECs and leadership great.
2) Subjectively: Since you can’t really judge your own essays I think it’s safe to assume they’ll be “neutral,” not really hurting you while not really helping you. Teacher recs are equally indeterminable (unless you’ve read them, which I doubt), which means in total your subjective evaluation would be just neutral, placing you in the majority of applicants.</p>

<p>Which means, in summary, that you have a fairly decent chance, as you’ve surpassed the general benchmarks objectively and I’m sure your reputation and hard work can be commented on by your recommendation letters. Crapshoot would be the word you’re looking for. You never know what the admissions officer will think of you, but optimistically speaking I’d say you’d be very well off! At worst, you’ll be deferred. Maybe you will be one of the people who get deferred then later accepted (about 11% rate based off class of 2016 stats).</p>
