This means that you have a real shot at these schools — but you are far from a sure thing.
I think you are more likely than not to get into the other schools — with Florida and FSU being sure things (but you can do better than both of them).
The bottom line is tha tyou are qualified to get into all of these schools — but being qualified isn’t the same as getting in. You will get into some good schools. To get into the best ones, you need to distinguish yourself from the other qualified applicants. In particular, you need to write a killer essay.
Think about your preferances. I would put them at:
Princeton or Harvard
Chicago
Cornell
WIlliams
Brandeis
Bowdoin
Lehigh
Tulane
Florida
Florida State
If you are interested in Economics, I would move Chicago to the top.
E-mail the universities and request info to be sent out to you.
Look at them carefully. And that way you can choose carefully.
