<p>What do you think my chances are? And what can I do to improve them? Would getting my name out there in tech blogs and etc. in mid Jan be the most significant thing I could add?</p>

<p>Are you applying to CC or SEAS? If you could get your name onto the tech scene and put that on the application, that would clearly be helpful. Right now I would say your chances are average, not too strong or too low. By the way, if I were to be honest, I’d say your essay topic sounds a little generic (I didn’t get into schools where I talked about collaboration in supplements, if I recall correctly), make sure you do a good job on that.</p>
