<p>Damn, that’s quite an ambitious list. By the law of averages alone you shouild get into an ivy or two and mit or stanford. good luck.</p>

3

<p>I’m not applying to all of the schools on my list…I posted them so I could shorten my list of schools that I should apply to where I actually have a chance of being accepted. And I think I have a fairly decent shot at UC’s so I didn’t post them.</p>

4

<p>Also forgot to mention that I’m writing a book currently, though I haven’t received a contract for it or anything big yet.</p>

5

<p>What is your class rank? Other than that you have a good shot any where.</p>

<p>From you stats I notice a few things that pop out. The bascuch and lomb award and the UCLA intership, and top scores in the science subject tests, space competition, and other science stuff.'</p>

<p>In the pool there are several ppl like you. But what you can do to boost your chances is to highlight an aspect of your app and present that as your passion. My suggestion write about science on each part of your essays. But with each one show how science affects or influences you from different aspects.</p>

6

<p>Our school doesn’t rank, but I’m pretty sure I’m in the top 10%.</p>

<p>Thanks for the essay advice!</p>

7

<p>well I think you have a shot at any of those schools so apply like crazy and see where you stick.</p>
