<p>Impressive. its impossible to predict chances at the top 5 schools on your list- harvard, princeton, yale, penn, columbia- but i think you've got a great shot at all the other schools- including Georgetown. Penn should also be very realistic (key word- should- you never know), as long as you display leaderhip and ambition. Im not quite sure of the nature of your summer program at Yale, but it should help your chances. Good luck!</p>

<p>no offense, but it might be hard to consider BC a safety.</p>

<p>ya i agree, BC is weird with their admissions.</p>

<p>Pomona may not necessarily be a reach</p>
