<p>Mick, you cetainly have a shot. No doubt about that at all. All honors and APs matters a whole lot; your ECs should really set you apart.</p>

<p>What's your essay about? Also, where are you living in the US? I'm pretty sure that matters to the adcoms.</p>

<p>My essay is about my first American holiday after my adoption, and how that initial holiday led to many other life changing experiences.
- Unfortunately, concerning college admissions, I live in one of the worse possible areas, Northern New Jersey</p>
