It sounds like you’d have a very good chance at getting in. Your scores are right around their range. Also, schools really do tend to take a good look at the essay and if you incorporated some of your heritage and being a second generation immigrant in, that would probably look great. However, of course, don’t write your essay just to impress them, only include that if you truly feel it is apart of you. All in all, you seem to have a very good chance of getting in. I’m hoping to get accepted also!
Thank you, @caseyla115511! Good luck to both of us!
