<p>HI! I am a current freshman at Case and I definitely think you are in for the class of 2016! You are very well rounded, not just having good grades, but also with extra currs., vol. experience, etc. Also- I see you’re from the NJ/Philly area, which is good! I’m from right outside of Philadelphia and there are say, 10 kids from my half of the state/south jersey. It’s nice to see someone else from around there and they always like kids from that area! Good luck!</p>

<p>Are you serious? You’ll easily get in. Apply to some high ranked schools like Carnegie Mellon - it’s like Case but on steriods.</p>
