<p>hello i'm from NJ, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what my chances are/what i can do to improve my chances. I go to a public county academy (all honors classes, no AP available).</p>
<p>I plan on applying to: William and Mary, University of Richmond, Villanova, The College of New Jersey, Boston College, Lehigh, Marist, Quinnipiac, and Scranton (And maybe Princeton- I know it's a really far reach right now with my SATs but it's somewhere I've always wanted to go to)</p>

<p>I guess for my essay I plan on talking about how growing up close with a cousin with severe disabilities and another cousin with behavioral issues has made me interested in psychology and has helped me grow as a person.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to ask my teacher/advisor of Chorus for a letter of rec because she saw me start the club from the beginning and has seen how we have progressed under my leadership, stuff like that.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for reading this, I really appreciate your advice</p>
