<p>I got in for class of 2018 but will be taking a year off before I matriculate. But I think your stats are really great so I think my best advice to you is speak honestly through your essays and really work on them. I can definitely give you tips for the application process if you’d like!
Good luck!</p>

<p>looks great…I agree, the essays are crucial. Let your passions show through, in your own voice.</p>

<p>Stats are great overall. SATs are not super high but many people get in with a 2120 or lower. If you can take it again, go for it and make sure to do well on subject tests. Solid foundation. Make yourself stand out on the essays and refrain from just listing all the great extra curriculars you do in the essay or the interview. Pick the one or two you’re most passionate about and make them shine. </p>
