<p>your stats are a little better than mine and I was waitlisted</p>

4

<p>i think you stand a pretty good chance getting
i have about the same stats as you and i got in RD</p>

<p>you should get in pending that you have won some pretty good awards from piano, cuz i also play and i have one some tri-state awards
the iimportant thing about your activities is not how many, but much interest you show and far you pursue them</p>

<p>btw leadership positions always help
i had several, but that was my weak area</p>

<p>Your stats are about the same as mine, except a higher GPA. And you have way better ECs and I got in.</p>

<p>You seem strong in a lot of areas (extracurricular, GPA, ACT, APs); your courseload could have been more challenging but I'd bet on you making it.</p>
