<p>**Note: I am biracial, ½ Caucasian and ½ Chinese, but my whole life I have been raised in an environment where only English is spoken. I take Chinese as a foreign language not as an easy way out, but because it truly is a foreign language to me and I study it to learn about my own background and culture as well that I have little exposure to at home. </p>

<p>I indicated Chemistry as my top academic interest, esp. with my research</p>

<p>Other colleges: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, Duke, Williams, Amherst, and Madison (safety)</p>

<p>I appreciate any feedback!</p>

<p>bump....anyone???</p>

<p>Chill, Grumpybear. You have as good a chance as anyone, now you just need to see the way the fickle ivy league admissions wind will blow.</p>

4

<p>you have about 80%-90% chance of getting in</p>

5

<p>what does bump mean??</p>

6

<p>why does a specific percentage matter? how can you be 50% admitted or 80% admitted? Come decision time, it's either 0% or 100%.</p>

7

<p>I'd say it's around 25-30%. Only because that was last year's rate. And if you look at some of those posts from the ED decisions thread, you'll see how scary/random it seems.</p>

<p>But anyhow, let's all keep fingers crossed.</p>

<p>mmm. I'm already pouring through last years ED thread ...</p>
