<p>Other:</p>
<p>I expect all of my recommendations to be stellar, and my counselor is going to talk about how my work with the Gay Transgender Straight Alliance has made me a leader at our school. I feel that my extracurriculars are really the strong point of my application and focused on them in my essays.</p>
<p>You already have another thread on the front page here…</p>
<p>Your scores are in all of those schools ranges. Just focus on your essays now and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Most of those schools are unpredictable, including Michigan to some degree. Seeing as you have legacy at Michigan to add to your profile, I wouldn’t worry about that school.</p>
<p>All the others you have the same chance as everyone else who applies.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Most of your list is a crapshoot. Hard to predict Ivies, but you have a decent shot. I’d add another safety just in case the unthinkable happens, but if you can’t find one you’ll live. Good luck!</p>

<p>I do have several safeties on my list, I just didn’t stick them up here because I’m pretty positive I’ll get in. I’m applying to the University of Wisconsin, UC Santa Cruz, University of Washington and Scripps.</p>
