I'd say you are in at Miami, GWU, and Emory, especially Oxford. Trust me, Emory is difficult, but not ridiculous as the other schools to get into.

I'd say you are competitive, 40 percent, at WUSTL, Duke, Northwestern, Hopkins.

I'd say you are unlikely at Georgetown and Princeton.

I'd say Brown is big reach. You dont really strike me as Brown "material"

thank you, what do you think about the iffy's. I don't think I'm motivated to write the 2page essay for Rice in the next week.
