<p>nice presentation. they're pretty good. definitely apply for scholarships as well (here</a>).</p>

<p>also, just how good of a swimmer are you? get in contact with the coach. the women's swimming team here is still relatively new.</p>

<p>unfortunately, other than that, you don't have any real hooks despite great well-roundedness so as usual the rec's and essays will be very important.</p>

<p>better chance at case</p>

<p>I think your chances look good. Make sure your essays are good, since that is what will help you stand out from everyone else whose chances also look good. They can't accept everyone who is qualified, so you have to distinguish yourself through your writing.</p>
