my essays were great, recs were aweSOME, and my 1st trimester senior grades are the best Ive had ever and I am taking 4 AP classes…go figure
So any feedback would be awesome, I didn’t send in my SAT scores because well they were not so peachy…they were above 1170 though, so no i didnt get like a 1000 combined theyre not that bad just not lac standard…
If I dont get into bowdoin (cry…) or get deferred then ill apply to:
williams
brandeis
connecticut coll.
hamilton
bates(not sending scores there either)
Mass college of lib arts
skidmore
and pondering smith…any other ideas for backups would be appreciated
