<p>Do you want a pat on the back? You and I both know you have a good shot, but also that Ivies are hard to get into.</p>

4

<p>I don’t have ample knowledge of those universities’ freshmen classes background, but here’s my evaluation of your status:</p>

<p>[ul]
[<em>]SAT I: Excellent; better than most
[</em>]SAT II: Great
[<em>]HS Curriculum: Excellent
[</em>]GPA and ranking: Excellent
[li]ECs and awards: Excellent[/li][/ul]</p>

<p>As you see, there are no clear “downpoints” on your application. I know you should be feeling insecure right now as you wait for such prestigious schools’ decisions, but try to chilax and let time flow. You have your odds, just like most qualified applicants do.</p>

<p>how much longer does he/she have to wait …</p>

<p>Sorry samslam. I’ve seen chance threads by people who seem almost superhuman in their accomplishments, and I don’t consider myself to be anywhere near the level of some people on here. Obviously positive reenforcement is nice, but I’m not fishing for compliments.</p>
