<p>you have great chances. you are devoted to your ecs and that’s amazing, something that they really want to see.
the best part of you app is that you like your common app essay. if it’s heartfelt and nicely written, i would say you have a great shot at most colleges (minus Harvard and Princeton) on your list.</p>
