uh.. 800+800+800=2400..
if the essay screwed you over, then you don't have an 800 in writing...

cornell and hopkins are never safeties though. make sure theres something that you will DEFINITELY get into, cuz you never know with the ivies and MIT.

but you've obviously got a fantastic chance with what is practically (or is) a perfect SAT score. there's not really reason to ask. it's hard to judge extracurriculars.

good luck.

great scores, but what's up with the 1 or 2 year ec commitments?
