<p>UC (Berk, LA, SD)- I don’t know
USC- I don’t know
Claremont (McKenna and Pomona)- I don’t know
Brown- Likely
Dartmouth- Likely
Duke- More than Likely
Columbia- Likely
Amherst- I don’t know
Swarthmore- I don’t know
WUSTL- Definitely, did you apply for the Danforth scholarship? You’d likely get it.</p>
