probably a few local i'm forgetting that i probably won't include
National Merit (at least commended, i'm right on the cut-off for semi)</p>

<p>Exceptional teacher recs (I haven't had a steady counseler so idk how that will go), my essays could cause jaws to drop, or they could be just good enough.</p>

<p>Although Harvard accepts a little over 50% of its 2400s, i know that I have a high chance of being the 40 something%</p>

<p>I'm also a first generation college student as defined by the government (my mom did get an associate's degree though but doesn't use it). Both my parents work for the post office and don't really know anything about college these days.</p>

<p>O-h...</p>
