Honestly, I wouldn’t say that you’re a competitive applicant at Penn, Duke, Brown, etc. You should still apply because anything is possible.

Georgia should be a lock. You have a shot at Emory. Applying ED as a legacy at Penn will give you a big boost but I don’t think you’ll make the cut. Expect a rejection or a deferral.

^ Sorry for being brutally honest!
