Hello everyone!
I’m really anxious about getting into the schools I applied to. I know we’re one month away, but I was curious what everyone thinks I should expect. What chances do you all think I have?

I consider myself a really good writer. My counselor said my essay was the best she has ever read. My essay was sort of a narrative about how I became the man of my house after my dad left two years ago and how I’ve grown up to become a mentor and support to my little brother and mom. my school-specific ones were about my love of history and politics and how my best friend, a Ukrainian refugee, inspired me to pursue a career in foreign affairs. The candidate I worked for went to Georgetown and put in a good word on my behalf.
Schools:
American
Gettysburg
William and Mary
Georgetown
Cornell
Dartmouth
Columbia
Washington University in St. Louis
I think your focus on politics is strong, though your list of extracurriculars isn’t especially extensive. This is especially helpful for DC schools like American, and your story will help you, as will your test scores. I’d say:
American: Accept
Gettysburg: Accept
William and Mary: Accept
Georgetown: Waitlist [Are you applying for SFS? That’s much harder than the College, so it is difficult to chance.]
Cornell: Accept/Waitlist
Dartmouth: Accept/Waitlist
Columbia: Waitlist/Reject
Washington University in St. Louis
Best of luck!

You have a good college app, I just don’t see much detail or explanation… I think you have a great chance getting into all of these schools and you display some amazing things about yourself. The only thing is that you don’t really stand out in the EC department it seems very vague. How did your leadership change the program? How did you reform the program?
Chance me back?
Your EC’s seem limited but you show obvious commitment/interest in politics and have good test scores. That along with your story/hook should help you.
American- accept
Gettysburg- accept
William and Mary- accept
Georgetown- accept/waitlist
Cornell- waitlist
Dartmouth- accept/waitlist
Columbia- reject
Washington University in St. Louis- accept
Hope I helped at least a little… Chance me back?
Thank you to all who responded! @politicsdancegal @softiestudies @writergirl0316 I apologize for my own error. The list of EC’s I put up may seem strange, but there are other details which set me apart. I started the History Honor Society and led the club from non-existence to over 100 regular members. I was the only Democrat to ever join the political science club and was elected by over 50 Republicans over 6 Republican challengers. I have doubled the size of our club and led us to national competitions. The African American judge I worked for, I did twenty hour weeks community organizing, which I talked about in the essay. I was a campaign organizer for the Clinton campaign. Just wanted to elaborate so I didn’t seem weak
