<p>Oh and I’ve worked at the library since the end of 10th grade. During the school year I work around 12 hrs a week and during the summer I work around 25 hrs/wk.</p>

<p>You have a good shot at wherever you apply.</p>

<p>You have great grades, rank, solid scores, URM, great volunteering, course rigor, and significant research. Submit your research to a competition too! </p>

<p>Although Ivies are hugely unpredictable, you are defintely qualified and in the running for selective schools. Princeton would be still be a “reach” since it is so unpredictable. With strong essays and recs, you have the potential to go to any school on your list. But have a back-up plan too :slight_smile: Good luck! </p>

<p>Chance me back please:</p>
