<p>will have strong rec's
good supplemental rec from my nih mentor hopefully
also have strong essays most probably; i'm a decent writer </p>

<p>Thanks guys!!</p>

<p>please? someone…i welcome criticism, pleas be honest and harsh if you have to.</p>

<p>duke, - decent
chicago, - reach
jhu, - reach
washu, - decent
cornell,- reach
upenn, - reach
hyps, - reach(s)
columbia, - reach
umd- very good chance</p>

<p>You have outstanding stats but probably would benefit from another very good chance/ decent school listed.</p>

<p>why would you say jhu is a reach? just curious. i was thinking along the lines of it being maybe a match or low reach school.but thanks for your opinion!and i agree with what you said but i can’t think of another decent school to put on the list…also, doesn’t chicago have a higher acceptance rate than duke, so shouldn’t duke be a reach too?</p>

<p>also, will submitting an arts supplement increaser my chances? and is it true that the sooner you submit an arts supplement the more likley you are to get in? </p>

<p>thanks for answering my questions.</p>

<p>In my opinion, submitting an Art Supplement for your ethnic dancing
will be a rather good idea. To be frank, a lot of students (from Asia)
who live in USA generally lose their “culture” so to speak and showing
them that you are dedicated and good at something to your heritage
will be a plus even if Asians fail to be lacking in numbers in applying to
top universities…</p>

<p>Woe to us Asians… :(</p>

<p>Well when I chance someone I only state: very good chance, decent, reach… and nothing else. I exclude the addition of using low, high, etc…
Base off reviewing your stats, the school in terms itself etc… I “chanced” you.</p>

<p>haahah. yeah, thanks theroad. sigh…i wish i weren’t asian just for college apps purposes.lol.</p>
