-my essays for UVA are stellar, my essays for UChicago are quirky, and my essays for Georgetown are traditional (in all honesty they're decent-- not sure if they're THE BEST EVER but i'm fairly confident in them)

<p>Thank you! Anyone else?</p>

5

<p>Quick question- how much influence do mid-year reports have on decisions?</p>

6

<p>I'd say you have a good shot at all of them. However, I am no expert.</p>

7

<p>id say in at all of them.......</p>

8

<p>Thank you so much! Anyone else?</p>

9

<p>go away</p>

<p>(meaning, you're really super, and you will get great news in April, unlike me :))</p>

10

<p>Actually, my sources tell me we'll BOTH get excellent news in April and be happy and successful and really really good-looking for the rest of our lives!</p>

11

<p>Yeah, it's a match for all of 'em. Not too quixotic to be aiming for them, methinks. =)</p>

12

<p>Assuming you asked a math/science teacher for a recommendation to Chicago, a very good chance everywhere.</p>
