<p>Recommendations:</p>

<p>2 (I hope) awesome recs
counselor rec I assume will be good, I know him decently well.</p>

<p>essay is deep, about how my experiences in Ecuador connect to my daily life</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You’re exactly what Colby is looking for. You probably will be able to become a Presidential Scholar (more money, exclusive opportunities as a first-year to be a research assistant, first priority signing up for classes).</p>

<p>You never really know between being wait listed and accepted, but I’d definitely be surprised if you got rejected and would say that it looks pretty darn good on the whole. Just remember that nothing is a sure thing.</p>
