Wow. Nice.

You should get into: Duke, UVA, W&M, and WashU without a hitch

The Ivies, Stanford, and MIT will probably come a little harder, but I suspect that you'll be staring at quite a few acceptances from those as well

You're looking good at most, except perhaps for the likes of MIT, Stanford, and the ivies. Come late march, you're probably going to stare at a lot of acceptances though. You have a very good shot at Penn and Duke. Chance me!! Je suis rather nervous as well.
