<p>I'm pretty sure you will get in.</p>

<p>Looks good to me.</p>

<p>Yeah, you are looking good, just put effort into your scholarship/merit-aid application (which is quite lengthy).</p>

<p>I am not sure of you know about the structure of the scholarship application. If you dont - </p>

<p>If you wanna apply fot the Reynolds and Carswell Scholarships, there are 4 essays to complete. The profiles for kids who get these scholarships are online; all of the kids are valedictorians with myraid talents. Not to belittle your talent and academic ability, but those scholarships are out of reach. Now, there are many other scholarships, which require only one of the four essays. I would encourage you to apply for scholarships. However, even though you know that your stats dont qualify you for the Reynolds and Carswell, I would highly encourage you to write ALL FOUR ESSAYS.</p>

<p>Thats what I did. I wasn't even shortlisted for the Reynolds and Carswell Scholarships, but I got another big scholarship.</p>

<p>Try hard enough and write good stuff. Convince them that youre a perfect fit for wake and wake is a perfect fit for you. Communicate your desire to come here and your intellectual curiosity.</p>

<p>You have a good shot.</p>
