Hi, I’m currently a sophomore and all the college decisions for class of 2024 coming out is starting to stress me out! I just need to hear some thoughts on my chances so far for schools like Brown, Tufts, Middlebury and schools similar to them. I’m still figuring everything out but some advice would be great! Thanks!
