<p>Essay and Supplement</p>

<p>Essay was about a chance meeting with a gay person during my outreach trip to China. And in spite of our apparent differences in background and culture, I came to the realization that we actually share the same vision for a more inclusive world that respects and understands the common need for love regardless of gender.</p>

<p>Lack of financial aid needed should work hugely in your favour.</p>

12

<p>most applicants from my country don’t require FA though, so i’m not sure if that’s any advantage to me.</p>

<p>any other chances?</p>

13

<p>thanks for chancing me! i don’t know much about the LAC’s admissions… but your EC’s and community service are insanely good. i’d say Stanford - reach, Duke - mid or low reach, UChicago - low reach, Berkeley - Match.</p>

<p>btw, what exactly is mid-/low-reach in quantifiable terms?</p>
