<p>I would not be surprised if you got into all of those school!</p>

<p>i would expect for you to get into most of these universities. There are very, very few undergraduates I have come across or read about with a college record/research/activities as impressive as yours, let alone as a sophomore. this is like the resume of a future Rhodes Scholar. If you aren’t admitted to most of these schools, this would just prove that the elite-university admissions have turned into a joke</p>

<p>Retake the SAT and get a 2300+. Literally all these schools have low single digit transfer acceptance rates.</p>
