<p>I’m pretty sure Cornell will take you, and one of the other 4 is bound to take you as well</p>

<p>I think you’re crazy</p>

<p>(aka how are you alive you’re getting into all those schools)</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies, anyone else… please… help is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Come on guys… there have to be other people that can reply and help me out ?!</p>

<p>Bumping This</p>

<p>Bumped again</p>

<p>I think that at the very least you should be into a few of these schools. Your sats are very, very good. That being said, these schools are competitive for even the best of students, but with your grades and activities I can’t see you not getting into at least one of the schools you mentioned.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply I truly appreciate it. Please, the more advice the better!</p>

<p>Just got bumped</p>

<p>Gonna bump for more advice. Greatly appreciate advice!</p>

<p>Bumping again… just want some help please!</p>

<p>Do not want to bump this, but no other choice</p>
