<p>really? “Junior Chances” you realize this obsession is borderline unhealthy, right?</p>

<p>Oh come on giterdone – sounds about par for the course for CC.</p>

<p>Anyway – OP.</p>

<p>Your stats look generally competitive. </p>

<p>The 34 on the ACT is very competitive. The course load looks rigorous. 92 – tough number to evaluate. It means different things in different schools. If you’re in the top 10% (top 5% would be better), if not, it might be a bit lower than average (but not so low that you shouldn’t apply. ECs look good.</p>

<p>^my school doesnt do rankings</p>

5

<p>and do you think that my chances for RD are decent?</p>

6

<p>Based on your stats, my wholly uninformed and irrelevant opinion is that you have an average to above average chance.</p>

<p>What do you think your chances are?</p>

<p>PS – there there’s a student in another school’s forum who has identical statistics to yours, as well as an identical (i.e., word for word) description of the courses s/he has taken (though the ECs are posted here and not there). Assuming that it’s you in both cases … really there is no need to open separate accounts for different schools. It’s kind of expected that students with your credentials will apply to more than one highly competitive school.</p>
