<p>I’m a white male, too, which is probably important to know. So, what do you all think my chances are?</p>

<p>You really do have very good chances at all of the schools on the list. I am sure that you will be accepted to JHU and Northwestern and most likely one or more of HYPM.</p>

<p>I also forgot to mention that I’ve been a track captain for the past two years and will be one again this year. I also scored all 5’s on my ap tests, but I know those don’t matter a ton for college admissions.</p>

<p>You’re stupid if you’re pessimistic.</p>

<p>I have to agree with Chromey. If you really are pessimistic about your chances to get in anywhere, then you have NO self-esteem and really are stupid. You can get in anywhere you want.</p>

<p>Great chances at all of those schools. Don’t be pessimisstic. You make other people feel bad about themselves if you think that THOSE stats are bad. Right now I feel like going back to my room and moping about my pending rejection letters. And I was finally starting to feel hopeful that I had a chance…</p>

<p>Anymore thoughts?</p>

<p>you’re set man, solid throughout. very well-rounded. don’t worry too much about it with these solid credentials.

<p>I haven’t even heard of nano chemistry…you’re probably in at all of them. I understand why people are pessimistic about admissions to top colleges because the general thought is that there’s always a more qualified applicant, but to be honest, it’s hard to be more qualified than you are.</p>

<p>Wow, you have excellent chances at all of these colleges! Good Luck!
