<p>recs: should be really good (research mentor, professor at princeton, 2 teachers at school & guidance counselor)</p>

<p>essays: pretty decent, or so I’ve been told (I don’t like to judge my own writing :D)</p>

<p>you should at the very least have a good shot at UChicago. Harvard and Georgetown are definitely a higher reach.</p>

<p>You’ll probably get in at UChicago and Georgetown. You have a decent shot at Brown. Since you’re a legacy, Harvard looks fairly realistic (but don’t count on getting in). If you count as a recruited athlete, you’ll probably get in at Penn and Princeton.</p>
