Thank you, Chuck. But, I’m fully aware that I am far from being a competitive applicant cuz there are just too many brilliant international students 
Also, I commented once on your post–not sure if you still remember me. And oh i think I left out Duke(apply to it anyway because it’s my dream school,and if one does not try, he or she misses 100% of the shot)
I do agree that my list is kinda short. You have any colleges that you want to recommend?
