Rice - in
Duke - maybe; there are other unknown factors that might be the deciding factors

Georgetown - in (borderline)
UNC-out of state - in

<p>You’ve got really good stats; I say that if you attend a top, rigorous school, you’ve got a great chance at Duke as well.</p>

<p>The University of Edinburgh is in Scotland.</p>

<p>Ok, University of Edinburgh in Scotland then.</p>

<p>A very important factor you have not listed is course rigor. Have you taken a lot of AP and honors classes?</p>

<p>Right now I’m taking AP Chemistry, AP US History, and AP Spanish, along with Pre-Calculus Honors, English Honors, and Theology Honors (it’s the hardest schedule I can take).</p>

UNC-out of state - 3
U of I-in state - 1</p>

<p>In my opinion, chancing the odds of someone getting into a university is useless. I feel that I’m a perfect example. I got into University of Pennsylvania, Duke, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and UC Berkeley, but got waitlisted at Georgetown and rejected twice (one from appeal) by UCLA. It’s all random.</p>
