<p>Ill take you up on your offer to chance me back…haha…</p>

<p>If you work hard at the ACT and do well on your AP exams…I think you have a good overall application. That being said, NYU Dartmouth and Hopkins, etc. are competitive schools. If you really want to stand out, I think you should try and develop 1-2 of your key interests you would like to pursue. For example, you mentioned that you do dance + and you speak multiple languages. Try to pursue these passions and develop a THEME for your app…In doing so, you will create a “hook” that will help you stand out from the crowd…essays + recommendations also have a big sway</p>
