And here's an essay tip: don't write your essays sounding as arrogant as you did in your post.

<p>I don't think that he sounded arrogant in his post at all. I think that you misunderstood the whole thing and he was trying to be funny instead. What you saw as arrogance was merely a joke.</p>
<p>But I think you have a good shot at all the schools really. You're grades show an upward trend and that's something that colleges look for. Your EC's look pretty good and you have great SAT score. Just write a good essay and there's no reason why you shouldn't get into all of them.</p>
<p>HV, let's just post if we plan to say something constructive. No more insults or inflammatory questions please. By the way, I reposted because a lot of things changed.</p>
<p>Anybody else have an opinion on my chances.</p>
