<p>bumping, ill chance you back if you chance me</p>

<p>You don’t really have any hooks and I’m sorry about your dad. Tulane is listed twice and definitely not a safety-- either is Miami. I think your “dream” schools are somewhat realisti-- probably low to mid-reaches.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>haha thanks and ya tried to change that earlier I had a much nicer resume but it got deleted. One more question, should I go with ED Or RD? And by low reach is that a good reach or a bad reach? sorry I’m new</p>

5

<p>Low reach is means more likely than high reach. I would say reach for the top 3 but u should be good at the rest</p>

<p>Thanks a lot</p>

<p>Not sure what schools you are referring to applying ED or RD. None of your top 3 “dream” schools offer ED. ND and BC have EA but I believe those deadlines may have already passed. I would advise you to add a couple in-state public schools to your list, in case you don’t get the kind of financial aid that you are hoping for. I’m also not quite sure why you have out-of-state publics on your list due to the high OOS tuition they charge.</p>

<p>Just a quick point, an alcoholic father typically isn’t a “hook”.</p>

<p>@centralIFC ya i know and @jshain ya i know my friends all did EA but I had some family issues so i didn’t have time thanks anyways</p>

<p>Definitely a great chance for ND. SATs a bit low, though.</p>
