<p>great SATII’s, good ACT, not sure about GPA’s on the 100 point scale (that isnt how they do it where I live)</p>

<p>Your numbers are very impressive, you probably have a good shot at all of the schools, but you probably already know that Ivies are reaches for just about anyone</p>

<p>other than that I dont think you have much do be nervous about</p>

<p>You have excellent numbers. And you definitely have a shot to all of the schools. But we all know how unpredictable these schools can be.
