<p>Hello fellow questie, I think you have pretty good chances for all these schools. For the qb app, do you have a sad and unique story to use for you essay? That would help alot. Consider aiming higher. Low income students are a needed commodity to top colleges.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response! I don’t exactly have a sob story, just a real honest one. If I get far in the qb process, I will apply to brown and columbia also. I have no idea how competitive I am though.</p>

<p>I think that you have a really good chance. Additionally, I think that your scores are good but maybe retake the ACT. Answer mine plz.</p>
