Wow some really interesting EC like drawing (for to be Narnia movie). You seem very diverse and well rounded and that can be a strength you play. The sports are not very unique, although good, unless you are exceptional as in recruited athlete, they will probably only add to wellroundedness. I think you have a shot at Stanford, with all the others very likely.

Thank you so much!:slight_smile:

Np, btw I think you forgot your test scores, like sat etc. I assumed you did well like 2100+. Best of luck!

A lot of the colleges you chose are known for their STEM programs. However, you indicated that you math skills are weak and you seem to imply that you would prefer a humanities degree. You should, therefore, look mainly at liberal arts colleges. Unless you really like something about Stanford, Duke, Cornell, Vanderbilt, etc. you may not even want to apply to those colleges. A school’s high reputation does not mean it is right for you.
