<p>Lots of good stuff on here i really do like em. Ur grades are excellent and if u focused in ur essays on the fact that u take in stray dogs and care for them then u will really stand out. It seems like u really are passionate about that. Amazing summer credentials makes me jealous lol. What did u discuss in essays for these colleges?</p>

3

<p>oh ya and i run marathons if thats not evident from the awards/honors but im pretty passionate about it and made that clear with an essay and am talking about that at my interviews, if that helps.</p>

<p>yeah thats great u shud have a really good shot to get into ur colleges of choice.
Columbia U might be a slight reach, but all the others including yale i wud give u an 8.5/10 chance of getting in to them</p>

<p>Obviously, you have a pretty strong record and a number of good colleges; each one could be an excellent choice and I’d say, accept for Yale, Oxford, and maybe Williams and Columbia, all should be “accepts”… Q is: what are YOU looking for in a college? That’s the thing that should direct your search… I just don’t think posts that asks: what are my chances? at a bunch of good but very different schools, based on the perceived prestige of each, helps you … or helps others when people like me try and answer you.</p>
