<p>Hi everyone! I am a senior this year and going through the "oh so wonderful process" of applying for colleges. It has been really tough to narrow my choices down but I would like to know how likely my chances are before I apply. I have been stressing out a lot..and it would be really great to have a little bit of assurance. Any suggestions/comments are welcome! Thanks!</p>
