<p>Hedge your bets while you still can! A little less than 24 hours left! :)</p>
<p>Are you kidding? You are def in everywhere. I didn't even notice your ethnicity until the end (I have a habit of reading from bottom to top) and I was thinking you were a solid candidate for these schools: Nearly perfect scores and grades, good ECs with a lot of regional and national awards to accompany them, and I'm guessing someone as smart as you will be able to write at least a decent essay. But as a URM, you are a shoe-in. </p>
<p>This is a case where I totally love the URM thing. You seem like a student who has worked his ass off to get into a school like Harvard and it would be a shame they passed you up by some random chance. </p>
<p>Curious, if you got in everywhere and money wasn't an issue, where would you go?</p>
<p>An hour and a half left if anyone still wants to jump on the bandwagon! :P</p>
<p>i<em>am</em>jam:: my situation is complicated since money isn't really an issue, but that I'm currently a finalist for a full merit scholarship + perks (summer at Oxford, $2500 for independent research, $4500 for a summer activity of my choice) @ Duke. So I'm really not sure what I would do if I got that scholarship and slipped into Harvard or Princeton. Right now I think I would definitely choose Duke + all of that over Princeton, but I'm not so sure about Harvard... let's see if I can actually get in first (lol).</p>
<p>lol....You're a shoe in. The only school that you wouldn't be a shoe in would be Harvard because of their uncommon recruiting techniques. However, I'm sure you will get in to both Princeton and Harvard.</p>
