<p>I have written articles and short stories that have been published in literary gazettes and other magazines.</p>

<p>I know that schools like WashU take into consideration applicants who express interest. I have visited the campus, but it would be impossible for me to apply ED to a school like that for financial reasons.</p>

<p>I think NYU 100%, Harvard maybe if you’re SAT score is up to par and Upenn the same as Harvard. Rice 100% also; you’re really a very good candidate! I’m sorry I don’t know about WashU or Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Notre Dame- Are you catholic? Because if yes then I think that’d but in an excellent position. Otherwise its a low reach/match
WashU- low reach but since you visited, they take that into consideration. Helps chances ALOT i’ve heard
NYU- match/safety
Harvard-Reach but is it for everyone, good advice is to prepare for senior year well! Write those essays into beautiful masterpieces that complement ur excellent ECs
Upenn- still a reach but not as much as Harvard. I know that you said you can’t apply ED to WashU but I’ve heard from a sophmore at penn that it really helps to apply ED there.
Rice- low reach</p>
