<p>I also tutor kids with special needs.</p>
<p>Background: My parents are deaf, my younger brother is autistic. I've had to act as the mediator, translator, mother at times, and spokesperson at times for my entire family. This was especially hard my junior year because this was when my brother was diagnosed. </p>
<p>Schools i'm applying to: Tufts, USC, Wesleyan, Boston U, U of MIchigan, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, and Davis, oh..and nyu (but i'm not too sure about nyu yet).</p>
<p>a spanish girl in my grade last year who was barely top 10% with a 1290 with an autistic brother got into Princeton. She wrote her essay on how she was the one who had to take care of her brother.</p>
<p>Apply to some top tier schools. You definitely have a hook</p>
<p>To narrow it down - I'd suggest Brown, Penn, Princeton. Cornell if you don't mind really hard work. I don't like Dartmouth for no particular reason. Columbia - you have to like the core curriculum. Yale and Harvard MIGHT BE too far a reach. </p>
<p>ahh, i didnt think i should consider the ivies because of my stats. the deadlines are january first..i dont think i can get rec letters in time. -.-</p>
<p>but definitely the schools i'm applying to now? maybe washington university in st. louis?</p>
<p>yea your stats are not TOO high.. but with your backgroud/hook, I think you definitely have a chance almost everywhere,,, write a really good essay.. and make all the adcoms CRY!! :)</p>
<p>wow. i'm impressed. great chances everywhere -- its a shame that you don't have time to apply to any of the ivy leagues, though i'm not saying that you'd be satisfied at such colleges. theres definitely more to an applicant than just test scores, and i think you truly show that. citizen of the month? wooooow.. :)</p>
