<p>Please sir, may I have some more?
I’m doing this to categorize my list and buckle down hard on one particular essay while not giving a crap about some other essays that may be going to a college around the same time but I have no chance in. Or hell, just to see which college to devote most of my research time on. </p>

<p>Realism. </p>

<p>Grade wise, you have strong stats.</p>

<p>But ECs are weak…I mean good, but not good enough to compete with others. When you were in Mu alpha theta, did you win anything?(also in science olympiad??)</p>

<p>NYU and GT seems match for you.</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania- High Reach
UC Berkeley - High Reach
Cornell University-High/Mid reach
University of Chicago - High/Mid Reach
Johns Hopkins- Mid reach

<p>youre doing well for all of these. people at cc are often more critical than they need to be, but just dont take everything too seriously. have fun when youre doing the applications (or at least force yourself to have fun…?) and it will reflect positively in the quality of your application. good luck!</p>
