<p>If my stats seem familiar, they probably are. I’ve posted this before. These are my final stats that are going to my schools. Any input would be amazing. I’m just tired of worrying about this, as I’m sure all of you are. Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m gonna say… better learn to walk a tight-rope!</p>

<p>Actually, I think you have a decent chance at all of them. Georgetown’s a reach, but it could happen. The others I think you’ll make it, though I wouldn’t call them safeties. Except for Michigan State. And maybe… to be honest, I don’t know these colleges all that well. </p>

<p>Hey, did you do the distance learning thing at Michigan? If so, how much did it cost?</p>

<p>bumpbumpbumpbump</p>

<p>I think you’re in pretty easily at all except Georgetown which is a reach for almost everyone</p>

<p>You’re taking pre-calc senior year? Weird how your schedule works or is that like the common ground at your school. I would say you stand a good chance at all of them. Essay needs to be distinguished.</p>

<p>yeah thats how the standard math goes at my school. fresh: Alg I Soph: geometry Junior: Alg II Senior: pre-calc could have taken the accelerated track, but math is by no means my strong suit. Hence the social sciences path.</p>
