'in like flint'?

"In like flint" is an old movie reference = "you have a high probability of admission" in the opinion of s-869...

You would probably get into any school including Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.

You are cash money, good as gold, I'd go to Princeton personally but it's your world, we jsut live in it.

one question.....is your junior yr schedule not competitive cuz you chose easier classes or are no AP/honors courses available? because that would be your only setback. otherwise, you have a really, really great chance at a lot of the top schools.
