Haha I win:)

I'd say its a reach for you unless you display your personality through your essay, and your teachers and counselor do the same through their recs.

i disagree. the fact that you take two languages will make you stand out.

look at rowing. they had a small lightweight mens class this year and were soliciting walk ons.

as with any ivy league, its a crapshoot but ED has a better rate. Make sure your essay kicks major ass. they really wanna know who u are and you only get one. make sure ur getting solid recomendations too.

Not really.
