you should look into getting recruited for squash!

I think you look like a very competitive applicant I’d say you have a 50/50 shot, and you should definitely look into other mid-range top 40-15 schools and try to get recruited for squash as well. In order to boost your chances, you’re gonna have to write some really good essays too. I hope this helps and if you wouldn’t mind, could you chance me back?

Your parents make less than 30K? Don’t you mean 300K? Your record is good, and you should absolutely contact the squash coach.
