This is basically a rehash of something I posted a few months ago, but now I have finalized the schools I will apply to. I know Chance Me threads aren’t usually super accurate, but I do want to know if I’m applying to too many selective schools, etc that I don’t even have a shot at.
Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read through this and give me feedback. I’m worried about my unweighted ranking in particular.
