<p>Dude look at your stats? Why do you even post these chance threads? You know you’ll get into some ivies or you’ll at least apply to them no matter what…can your head get any bigger? Everyone knows the Ivies’ admissions process is super competitive and that anything can happen. Just apply and see what happens. Good Luck :)</p>

<p>Hey! Thanks for the reply to my own chances thing (:
God, your stats are spectacular and lots of outside work so I’m pretty sure you’ve got a good shot at most of your schools.
I don’t know if your unusual major would be a hook because I’ve heard that most colleges only consider what area (humanities, science, etc) you’re looking into and not your major because it is likely to change.</p>

<p>Anyways! good luck and I hope you get into your top school!
haha I just realized that with stats like yours, you’d probably be stiff competition for me! If I get waitlisted, I’ll know who to blame… haha</p>

<p>As great as your stats are, you may wanna pad that list with one or two safeties. Your chances are great, though.</p>

<p>Out of a furtive attempt to have my own suspicions confirmed guised under the term “curiosity”, why are you applying to ALL of the Ivy League schools? They each have such differing dynamics. Hmm…</p>

<p>Yeah I don’t see how you wouldn’t get into at least ONE of those schools.</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>If all fail, that means your essays were terrible.
But you will get into at least one</p>

<p>I agree with Elbeeen, you have solid stats and wow your SAT score!, but i would pad that list with one or two safety schools because one of my friends didn’t do that, and he ended up stuck going to this small college nearby because he only applied to Yale and Harvard.</p>
