<p>Sweet christ that is a lot of AP classes. You definately are competitive for every single college on your list. Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, and MIT are reaches for everyone who applies but I think you should get into at least one if not more of these schools. Every other school I could definately see you getting in. Brown, Duke, Dartmouth, and so on look like great targets. You'll probably get into all the UC schools, probably get into half of the remaining non HYPSM schools, and one HYPSM. </p>

<p>South Asian studies and biochem? You might consider writing down a different major combination considering south asian studies and biochem are totaly unrelated, and if I was a betting man I would bet you wouldn't be graduating with those degrees anyways. Also, everyone, their mom, and their dog is majoring in political science right now. I don't know why it is so popular. Good luck!</p>

<p>You will definetly get into at least half of those, and are very competitive at all.</p>

<p>in at:
Duke
Northwestern
John Hopkins
UC Merced
UC Irvine</p>

<p>Probably in at the rest too, but they are reaches for everyone.</p>

MIT.......High REACH
John Hopkins.....high Match
UC Berkeley.........IN

<p>I say this because a Senior from my school last year took even harder courses and more APs than you (a lot of self study), had a flawless GPA, was captain of many clubs, etc, 2300+ SAT applied to almost all the schools you applied to and only got into UC Berkeley out of state.</p>

<p>He's there right now. Anyways, I think from him, it can be derived that you should NEVER discount the importance of EC's, Essays, and Recommendations. I think it was his essays that killed him because he was a an average writer at best and probably didn't put too much thought into his essays because of his GPA and stats.</p>

11

<p>serious responses only thanks</p>

12

<p>I'm sorry, I was just teasing you :)</p>

<p>You're definitely in at the 3 UC's, and probably in at JHU, and Northwestern, and Duke. I wouldn't be surprised if you got into Dartmouth and Brown...but as for MIT, Harvard, and Princeton, it's too hard to say. Those schools are a reach for everyone, no matter how smart you are, admissions is a crapshoot. Rest assured you will end up at an amazing college no matter what, with your credentials.</p>

13

<p>thanks stargazerlilies haha
bumpbumpbump</p>

14

<p>I would say your in all of those schools, some more easily than others. Can u chance me back: What are my chances of getting into Georgia Tech?</p>

15

<p>Hope2getrice, you're being pretty harsh. If this person takes his/her application seriously, I think that at most all the schools on her list are at the most reach. No HIGH or BIG in all caps.</p>

<p>I think you're in at the UCs, and you will get into 2 of the top tier colleges that you are applying to. Did you spend a lot of time with your ECs? If not, your essay better be amazing for you to be competitive.</p>

<p>chance me?
