<p>Look good for UVA, also for Duke because of the double legacy.</p>

<p>For Northwestern, Georgetown, Stanford, you will need to really make the fact that your excellence in chess stands out above all others. Make the college see you individually as unique and want to pick you because of your great strength in the game.</p>

<p>Is it good to have a monopoly with chess? That is, it's my main activity, job, community service, and one of my clubs at school. Does that help or hurt?</p>
