Very good chance for both, but more so for eng i guess. Those olympiads look really nice.

You applied for the same schools/choices I did O_O

Hello there, competition lol

I think your chances are overall very decent, as long as you didn't screw up your essays and your recommendation letters didn't say you were the Antichrist or anything.. I think you're pretty much game O_O

TOEFL is a bit low, barely above the minimum. Take it again if you think you can improve.
