While on first glance I’m tempted to say YESS!!..on closer reading I come to a different conclusion. Disclaimer: Your stats are way better than mine ever could be, so don’t be offended. You are ranked second in your county, which is absolutely great, but no offense, i know people with psat scores of 230s-240 and SAT scores around there too, and they are nowhere near as confident as you are. As for your gpa, how are you weighting it, because that is crazy high which is awesome, but is not really reflected in your AP scores. admittedly, those are great scores, but I would expect the second best in the county to be an AP scholar or something, with all 5s, or at least the majority…and also troubling is that your humanities scores are higher…at first I thought you came from a “weaker” area, but then you revealed that your father is a vp of ibm…you have excellent chances, far greater than mine, but with a few exceptions, it is up to chance…
