Hi! I know that these chance posts can get annoying, but the whole college admissions process is really stressing me out, and I want to know if I’m getting in over my head before I start applying to so many top schools. My parents and friends seem to think I have a good shot, but knowing how many amazing applicants are out there makes me a lot more skeptical. I know just my stats won’t provide a completely accurate estimation of my chances, but any feedback is much appreciated!

I know my honors section is a little shabby, but I really did do the best I could with the opportunities I had and my parent’s low income. I’m hoping I can finish a research project before I submit my apps to help my chances. My essays should be pretty good. Here’s my college list:
Harvard
Stanford
Columbia
Rice (recently had an interview, it went really really well)
Johns Hopkins
UT Austin
(maybe?) UPenn
Any thoughts on the list would be GREAT, thank you so much for your time!
