<p>Quite a few awards (not to be conceited) for Writing, Math, Science Fairs, State Academic Competitions, etc, but I won't bore anyone with that mess...</p>

<p>Again, thanks for the feedback!</p>

<p>Bump...lol.</p>

<p>Good shot at all but Columbia and you are in the running there.</p>

4

<p>Are you at Jesuit?</p>

5

<p>No...are you at Jesuit NO? I have several friends who go there...I'm at St. Paul's, across the lake!</p>

6

<p>Bump....bump...</p>

<p>You're a very strong applicant for all the schools you've listed and you'll probably be accepted by most if not all. The only exception is Columbia and not because you don't have the stats or the ECs - you do - but because Columbia is so damn selective. The acceptance rate there last year was around 10%. Still, your stats are strong. Figure you have a 20 to 25% chance at Columbia.</p>

<p>Thanks...bump...</p>

<p>Do you go to Isidore?</p>

10

<p>No, Isidore's in NO, and I'm on the other side of the lake...though it is THE most amazing school around...did you go there???</p>

11

<p>What is your Big Brother Program-some kind of mentorship of younger students who are underachieving?</p>

12

<p>Sort of...it's a mentoring program for Eighth Graders run completely by the Senior Class...</p>
