<p>I am hoping they'll take my context into account when evaluating my application, and more specifically my class rank. I honestly don't think I'm being too unrealistic.</p>

2

<p>You should be in at Madison and USC. Would you really want to go to RISD? The others are reaches, but with your interesting background, they’re certainly possible.</p>

3

<p>I don’t know that much about chances, but you seem like a very interesting candidate. Your ECs are great and your personal story is compelling. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>Greennblue, I’d like to go to RISD only if I got into the new dual-degree program between RISD and Brown. :)</p>

<p>And thanks both of you!</p>

5

<p>Did you apply to Questbridge?</p>

<p>I think you would have been a great candidate.</p>

6

<p>^No I didn’t. I didn’t think it would be worth it. In hindsight, the benefits of QuestBridge probably would have outweighed the slight difference in Stanford’s SCEA acceptance rate, but what’s done is done.</p>

<p>Can more people chance me please?</p>
