<p>note that your ECs are mediocre; they’re not great
i’m sure you’ll get rejected for h…a…r…vard, michigan, northwestern, syracruse, USC but i dunno about other ones
i strongly suggest you to put more safeties in ur list</p>

<p>It is not true your EC’s are mediocre, they are very strong. But I am afraid you are kidding yourself for the schools wkddlswo mentions, except for Syracuse. I am not sure why he places that one in that group and USC out, USC is far more selective.</p>
