I have no idea how to start a new thread on this site yet, so I'm going to post my question here. This isn't really a fresh topic for this site, but I was just wondering if some one could evaluate my chances at the schools I applied to (all RD).

Letters of Recs
**I've decided not to follow the style of some other "What are my chances" posters who declare they have "shining and outstanding" letters...
I read one which I liked and think does the job (AP EURO teacher also student council advisor - we're pretty close)
Yale Prof - very encouraging
Pre-Calc Teacher - I did very well in that class, but it was an honors course, so I don't think it carries as much weight as AP Euro. We became friends, so I think she had nice things to say
Go ahead, be honest - what do y'all think my chances are at the following colleges ( i applied to a ton)
University of Pittsburgh (Safety)
UMass Amherst (other Safety)
Boston Unversity
George Washington
Richmond University
Emory
U Michigan Ann Arbob
Northwestern
Vassar
Vanderbilt
NYU
Middlebury
Amherst
Williams
Wesleyan
Wash U
Pomona
CMU
Cornell
Yale
UPenn
