Write a kick-ass essay and you are golden…

You have already asked this exact question in August. Look at the admit rates in the common data sets for these schools. I think your time would be better spent finding realistic match and safety schools. You may very well be accepted by some of these top schools, but there is nothing anyone can say about your chances that you don’t already know. Write killer essays as was previously stated.

@txstella Ya i just wanted to get some more opinions from people…

All reaches, despite a great app as they’re reaches for practically everyone.
Nothing you can do except for writing some killer essays, and just hoping that luck will go your way.

7

Lots of reaches. Where are your safeties?
GPA and SAT are great, but your EC’s are all over the place.
You need safeties.

@“aunt bea” my safeties are places like UMichigan and U-Ill U-C…should i craft my ECs in a certain way(disclude some, focus on others) to show more focus for my intended major? if so, how?
