<p>I think my essays are very good, and I have been editing them with the head of the English department at my school, who thinks they are great as well. I wrote my activity essay about writing the crossword puzzle for the paper, which seemed to be a selling point in my Wake Forest interview. Hopefully it is for other colleges too!</p>

<p>My recommendations are from my English teacher junior year and my math teacher who has had me for 2 years in Calc BC and Multivar.
Also, I am sending an additional recommendation from my Band teacher, because I plan on continuing the trumpet in college. I know these teachers very well, and they were very enthused to be writing me a rec.</p>

<p>Could you please chance me at:
Georgetown: (Early Action) I am applying under the Biology of Global Health major (Top Choice)
Vanderbilt: Regular Decision
Dartmouth RD
Penn:RD
Cornell: RD
Michigan:EA
Duke : RD
Boston College: EA
Yale: RD
For most of the other schools, I am applying either as a chemistry major or a biochemistry major</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>You’re a solid, competitive applicant.
I would think that Yale remains a substantial reach, and that Dartmouth and Duke, while they must also be considered reaches, are possible.
Anything can happen at the others.
Good luck.</p>

<p>Could you please chance me at:
Georgetown: (Early Action) I am applying under the Biology of Global Health major (Top Choice)- unpredictable (would not surprise me if you got in, wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t)
Vanderbilt: Regular Decision- high match
Dartmouth RD- reach
Penn:RD- reach
Cornell: RD- reach
Michigan:EA- match
Duke : RD- low reach
Boston College: EA- match
Yale: RD- high reach</p>

<p>Make sure you have at least one good safety school that you would be happy with, including a financial safety. You are a very strong all-around applicant, as WCASParent stated, but you have a very ambitious list of schools that you are applying to. Your ACT and SAT II scores may not make you as competitive as some of the applicants at your top-tier schools on your list. If you re-take the ACT and it goes up 2 points, that will help your chances considerably at your reach schools. Good luck</p>
