<p>I think u hav a pretty good chance at just about any school u choose… sorry for the title, i didnt read properly. Anywayz i thnk u have at most of em. Im sure bout Brandeis but nt so much for Harvard but i think u should take a shot at it, u neva kno.</p>

<p>No problem for any except HBD. For those three it will really come down to a great application. Being from Boston, where all of them get a ton of great applicants from makes the need for you to find a way to stand out important. I could see writing about construction and what its taught you. A higher score would also help a lot, you’re at about median for B and D and below for H. An unhooked Boston candidate probably wants to be over the 75th percentile.</p>

<p>Yeah ill see what happens my essays came out nasty and i think a state championship for mass in debate and balancing that with construction and karate will help make up for scores not being through the roof at harvard</p>

<p>any other ideas?</p>
