Hi,
I recently moved to in the Houston area and will be starting my senior year this fall. Obviously, this is the time to seriously consider touring schools and which schools to apply to. I’m a tad bit lost regarding my chances of getting into the listed universities above and am hoping that some you guys have an idea as to where I stand. Keep in mind I am aware that I seem a little bit weak than other candidates, so you don’t have to sugarcoat it for me. I also don’t know my class rank as I haven’t met with my counselor yet, but will soon.
