<p>I should not even post, but I admit I don’t get why people are so excited to predict your chances. What does it matter? Is it for the ego-stroking? Which, to me, seems to be unnecessary - your stats are your stats and you know your stats are well-above average - why would your ego need more stroking? Your achievements should be enough. What do you really get out of this? Maybe everyone in this thread is your personal friend and really cares.</p>
<p>My prediction: I think you will get into at least one of these schools, if not all of these schools, and there is a 100% chance that you will be surrounded by other people who will love to hear you talk about how successful you are, as long as you will be willing to listen to them talk about how successful they are (and I am sure you will.)</p>
<p>In the meantime, while you are all safe within the confines of the proverbial (as well as actual) ivory tower, chancing each other about some college assignment or semester final, the world will continue to spin, people will be born, people will live, people will die, governments will continue to abuse their power, and you and your classmates will vote for more Democrat nirvana in 2014 and 2016.</p>
<p>Even if you get into all of these schools, what are you going to do once you are there that will make any difference to anyone in this world? That is what I am most interested in. But, I am an old fuddy duddy, informed by the world of what is, and not so focused anymore on the world of what if. And, of course, that would be for another thread - the “What I Plan To Do To Change The World” thread. I cannot wait :)</p>
