As for my essays, the teacher that read over it said that it was pretty good? But real talk, I am really bad at writing and I’m not very confident on my supplements and essay. I’ve applied to a few reach schools (Northwestern, Columbia, Cornell, etc) but also a few safety schools (UT, Texas A&M, etc).
PS. I applied to 20 schools. Some people say that will affect my acceptance. Is that true?
Thank you so much for your time! I greatly appreciate any response or criticism.
