I’m bad at this so I don’t think I should say anything. But your ECs are better than mine ahaha. Decisions come out tmr! Don’t be so worried c:</p>

3

<p>You have a better SAT and I’m also IB and I got in EA</p>

<p>The only thing that I have is that I’m Puerto Rican</p>

<p>As long as you did a good essay, you’re fine!</p>

<p>Thanks guys, it really means a lot :)</p>

5

<p>You will get in man I wouldn’t worry about it! Wish me luck as I prepare for the worst</p>

6

<p>@Aceellis - Hahaha, you are SURE to get in if I have even a remote chance!</p>

7

<p>No way you don’t get in. My app was weaker than that (I only had better SATs, you beat me in GPA and destroyed me in EC’s) and I got in EA.</p>

<p>@rickdust8 - Thank you, your critique is definitely helping my confidence level. But, as the old saying goes, “Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched”.</p>
