<p>Intended major? Only exclude ECs you weren’t passionate about/are too unrelated to major. I think you have a really good chance at BC. NYU is a match/low match. UPenn is a reach. Job experience shouldnt hurt you too much but try really hard not to come off as too wealthy or stuck up.Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1532897-linguistics-chances-updated.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1532897-linguistics-chances-updated.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Don’t worry, the majority of high schoolers don’t have jobs. As a student, school is essentially your job, so your transcript and test scores are the most important things (and you have those in the bag!)</p>

<p>CHANCES:
Columbia: mid reach
Brown: low reach
JH: high match
UPenn: mid reach
BC: low match
NYU: high match </p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

5

<p>Trust me, I’m not trying to be generous; I’m being honest here. You deserve those chances.</p>
