<p>Hey there, fellow Wisconsinite!</p>

<p>Ah, I remember Youth Options - great program, I took mine at UW Madison. </p>

<p>You seem to have a big laundry list of stuff. I hope you emphasized some of your more important ones. I think that as long as you had good essays/recs and as long as you managed to spin your extracurrics to make them stand out, you have a chance. Admissions are a crapshot, though just saying.</p>
