<p>Wow, did you skip a grade or something?</p>

<p>I would say the only one you have a 60%+ chance of getting into is Emory and Duke?</p>

<p>I started school early/skipped those grades. Placement tests rock :D</p>

<p>well you have amazing stats and i think you could get into any of those.
Harvard and MIT are unpredictable because of a 10% acceptance rate, but you have a better chance than most and you will do well wherever you go.you have everything theyre looking for. Id say that MIT you have a better chance than harvard, but thats just because of the math score</p>
