Honestly do I have a chance?

Not to be the wet blanket here, but I have a different question for you. And please know I mean this in the most constructive way. If I am wrong then so be it.

Are you sure Wash U is the right school for you? It is really competitive, not in a mean way but just because the students are all so academimcally accomplished coming in. You have achieved many things, a stellar record really. I think in many ways Wash U would be lucky to have you. I would just hate to see you go someplace where you feel overwhelmed from the start. I hope I am not out of line suggesting you think about this at least. There are so many great schools where you might be a better fit. Or I could be completely wrong.
