-college letter probably revolves around how violin/chess/racism/ and blind sister has changed who i am or something like that…

you can definitely get into Tulane, boston university would be a safety, wash U would be a high match/reach, and emory would be a high match as well. All the ivies are different, for example it would be very difficult to get into Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, but you would have a better chance at UPenn or Brown for example.

Chance back?
