<p>yea i see what you mean golacs; it’s getting really competitive :(</p>

<p>but hopefully with some faith in god and luck, i hope it works out for all of us</p>

<p>If you can, edit your “okay” essays so that they are “superb.” Hopefully you wrote about chess, or some other passion of yours? Better essays will definitely increase your chances…</p>

23

<p>To be honest, I’d expect you’d get in everywhere except Princeton. </p>

<p>UChicago: High Match
Dartmouth: Low Reach
Wash U: In
Amherst: Match
Williams: Match
Penn: Low Reach
NYU Stern: Match
Princeton: Reach</p>

ha ha ha, u r right that essays are the heart of the application, but everybody’s essays are pretty awesome in their own way so it’s hard to judge but hopefully the admission counselors like it.
yep i wrote bout chess for my 150 word response on common app.</p>

<p>oh hey, you can chance me back at : <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/832493-so-i-succumbed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/832493-so-i-succumbed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>thinking about replacing Princeton with brown</p>

<p>Very impressive resume. I couldn’t help noticing you wrote “okay” for your essays though. Is it maybe possible you can do some last minute editing to even make the tiniest improvement? I realized some people have submitted their apps for good but the hesitant ones like me just couldn’t send it since we want to do as much as we could lol…</p>

<p>Getting back to point, I would have to say you have a great chance at most of these colleges. I would say you can probably get into all these schools easily except Uchicago, Penn, Dartmouth, and Princeton/Brown. These ones, even the most qualified students get turned out but I would say it’ll be your essay and interview that gives you the edge. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you are great academically. But include some unique things about yourself that will differentiate you from the other book smart people with scores and a GPA like yours…
