I am currently applying to graduate programs in English, but I don't want to waste my money and time (nor the program's time) if I don't have a chance of getting in. I have an extremely high GPA, GRE Verbal in 93 percentile, great letters of reference, and have presented at three conferences (2 local, 1 national). Assuming my personal statement and writing sample are fine, how likely is it that the following schools will admit me?
1. University of Pennsylvania
2. University of Virginia
3. University of Illinois--Urbana-Champaign
4. University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill
5. University of Texas--Austin
6.New York University
7. Vanderbilt University
8. Boston University
All of these schools are a good fit for my interests. Any advice is appreciated, even if it is only about 1 or 2 of the schools. Also, if some of these are long shots, any ideas on how I can improve to get in? Thanks.
