<p>Hiya! Thanks for the chance. From the looks of it, you are definitely a good student. The only issue that I might have with your app is your subject test scores, which are a tad bit low. If you have the time, consider retaking it. Your ACT could use some work if you want to be competitive for Stanford/Penn/Yale/Berkeley/USC/ because for those schools, it is around 25-30th percentile. I’m not sure if saying you are an honor roll student is worth noting, but I do like your other awards. </p>

<p>I’m not sure how much legacy is a factor in your app, but it should be worth noting. If it is that important, I might even call it a match, depending on how they view your subject test scores. I don’t really know much about the claremonts, but from their freshman statistics, you look to be around 25th - 30th percentile, which isn’t really safe, but probably sufficient. Good luck and I hope you get in!</p>
