Hi! I’m a senior and I’m getting ready to apply for college this year, Reed and Barnard being my no. 1 and 2 respectively. I would really appreciate your opinions on my chances for the colleges. I’m gonna apply either way, but I’m trying to gauge how hard to cross my fingers! Also, any other matches you think I may have would be really cool too! I really like the urban oasis feel, and diversity is EXTREMELY important to me.

Already showed interest in both Reed and Barnard, but Reed more heavily
Recommendations will probably be stellar, might even get one from my Flamenco professor. I have a strong personal relationship with every teacher.
I have an AP teacher I really trust whose daughter went to Reed with much less stellar scores to help me with admission essays
