<p>You are honestly probably the most competitive applicant I have ever seen on this forum. I think you have a great shot at all of them. I assume you will write killer essays and I don’t see anything holding you back from getting in to any of these schools. All of the national awards, amazing fundraising, cancer research, amazing test scores makes you a truly incredible applicant. I think you will get accepted to any school you apply to.</p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544406-chance-me-please-duke-notre-dame-johns-hopkins-etc-ill-chance-you-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544406-chance-me-please-duke-notre-dame-johns-hopkins-etc-ill-chance-you-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks a lot! Haha, some people have told me that if I did so many things, colleges would think I don’t take any one of them seriously … so thanks for the vote of confidence!</p>

4

<p>I totally agree. Normally Ivies are a complete crapshoot for anyone, but I would say you have really good chances at all of these. Best of luck!</p>

5

<p>Jesus you are the strongest applicant I have very scene anywhere (including this forum). Your test taking skills are impeccable. Can you offer any advice? Do you study a lot, super IQ, etc??</p>

6

<p>If any school rejects you I’m suing them for being unfair. They should make a Stanford honors program just for you.</p>

7

<p>I wish my transcript looked like that. It’s perfect! I’m jealous :slight_smile:
Good luck, and I’m sure you’ll do well wherever you end up (which will most likely be at one of the colleges you listed above)!</p>

8

<p>If you get rejected from any of these colleges they should be ashamed of themselves. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>I’m sorry, but don’t bother applying unless you have four Rolex cups under your belt.
I call ■■■■■!</p>

<p>Honestly the only thing I think you could to to improve (solidify) your chances would be to take the ACT. I am sure you can get a 36. While you may get a 35 in one or two of the sections a perfect composite would show your the whole package. Honestly I don’t think I would be possible that you get rejected if you get a 36</p>

11

<p>I’m calling ■■■■■ on this one. </p>

<p>However, by some miracle you happen to have these stats, you have a great chance at all of those schools. Lol I wish I could have your EC’s. good job man.</p>

12

<p>Just to clear the air, I am not a ■■■■■. I just come from a background that places enormous emphasizes on perfection and success (extreme Asian anyone?). If you think I’m impressive, don’t because my siblings are all much more competitive than me.
Anyways, thank you guys for all your help and advice. To the person who asked for testing tips, just really study hard, do drills, get a tutor, and have motivation. It’s not intellect which determines your status in life but rather your drive.</p>

13

<p>You have amazing stats - better than any I have ever seen on this site, to be honest. You have such a solid chance at all of the schools on your list, I’d be surprised if you didn’t get into most of them. Wish I had your stats!</p>

14

<p>Thank you! You flatter me too much … but thanks for the support</p>

15

<p>You’re the most qualified applicant I’ve ever seen or heard of? Just curious…what are your career aspirations/what do you want to do with your life?</p>

16

<p>Just curious, did your siblings all get into HYPSM? I can’t imagine how their stats can be much better.</p>

17

<p>Wow, I’m extremely impressed by your stats, both objective and subjective. They’re easily the best I’ve ever seen or heard of. Those colleges would have to be blind not to accept you. Good luck!</p>

18

<p>You’re in; they’ll want you for their golf teams. All your scores and ECs are incredible as well. I don’t usually say this but any school that WOULDN’T take you has something wrong with it.</p>

19

<p>How are your siblings more qualified than you?</p>
