<p>Your stats look like mine and I got in to a few good schools so I think you'll do fine.</p>

3

<p>maybe retake physics sat2... although it probably doesn't matter that much anyway.</p>

4

<p>Accepted everywhere with Wharton being a reach. Have fun at the college of your choice. Best of luck in the admissions process.</p>

5

<p>Rutgers, are you serious? Saying someone is IN without a doubt at HYPS, Stanford, Duke, U Chicago, AND Berkeley? I don't think you should be chancing people anymore...because that's just really giving people false hopes. The admissions at top schools are just too iffy to be saying something like that.</p>

<p>That said, azn, I think you have as good of a chance as anyone. I wouldn't expect to get accepted at all, but you have really nice academics and ECs. The thing that might work against you is being Asian...as the Asian applicant pools at nearly all the schools you listed are notoriously difficult. Your SATs are a little bit low against many Asians at the schools you listed too (it pains me to call a 2240 low...it's an AWESOME score).</p>

<p>You'll probably get into a few of those schools, but make sure you have some legit matches and safeties. UF will be fine, but I'd add in a couple more just to be safe.</p>

6

<p>bump 10char</p>

7

12 ap classes before senior yr = ridiculous</p>
