<p>Oh ok. Great chances at all of those schools. I would throw in an app to one of HYPMS just to see what happens. Good luck:)</p>

<p>you should be okay for UT. i'm not too familiar with rice...you should be okay for cornell if you raise your physics this time around. Duke is a reach I think.</p>

<p>nvm just reread...the fact that you're asian male hurts alot. esp with Cornell and Rice.</p>
