Hi,

Based off your stats and activities alone, I would say you’re a very competitive candidate. For sure your non-profit ballet work would be working in your favor, so I’d suggest emphasizing that in your application. However, a big part of this process is the application. I think if you have a very good shot if you have strong essays and recs. I really hope you make it :slight_smile:

Your stats are super competitive and really good but I don’t see anything outstanding in your extracurricular activities besides maybe the bank internship
