Chance Me and I'll Chance You :)

Hi it’s me!!

I honestly don’t know much about the UCs, but like everyone else said Cornell would be a reach and everything else you should have a good shot at. I think your ECs and course rigor are perfect, you have plenty of leadership positions (quality over quantity) and you’ve taken plenty of APs and done well so your GPA is fantastic. You also have a really good hook with the eating disorder and depression that sets you apart from everyone else (respect for being able to overcome that btw, congrats). If you managed to create a narrative with that in your application (which it sounds like you did) that will really help you. Honestly I think the only thing holding you back from more selective schools is your test scores but there’s not much you can do about that now (or maybe you can, I’m not sure about the timeline but I don’t think it’s worth it to start stressing about standardized tests again). Your awards are also kind of lacking since there are no big name national awards, but I think that’s fine for most of the schools you’re aiming for.

I think you’re perfect for BU btw, I also applied there and you have everything they’re looking for. And I don’t know anything about the University of North Carolina but their acceptance rate is similar to BU’s and you applied early action so that should certainly do you some good.

Hope I helped!! (and thanks for commenting on my thread :slight_smile: )
