<p>What are my chances of getting into...
i'm currently a junior in highschool, and i have a list of around 20 universities which i'm planning to apply to, and i was just wondering what my chances are of getting into any of these colleges.

- I go to a private school, with only 160 people in my grade. It's a very selective school, and it is the second best school in the country (according to several polls and reviews).
- I am in the top 5-10% of my class (no exact number)
- I'm aiming for a 2100-2200 SAT score

- And in my entire high school education, ive never gotten less than a B average for any class and usually i have one or no Bs in a semester.
