<p>Are you a senior or a junior? Also, nothing stands out to me from other applicants. Try to find your passion and strive to start a club or join a program on it. Love your shirt btw. I’m from Jersey as well. </p>

<p>I think that you have a good chance, but not a great chance. Look at the numbers of those accepted EA. Many were higher. Some were lower. Your talent in music and languages surely will help, but the most important factor will be your objective stats. Doing the research will be your best tool to chance yourself. GOOD LUCK!</p>
