<p>I’m pretty sure you could get in at all of those colleges.
It’s also quite uncommon (at least in my school) to be on good terms with one’s counselor, so that’s a bonus. Your stats, essays, Rec Letters, and EC’s should get you in.</p>

<p>Wow, really? That’s comforting to hear! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Yeah, seriously. Don’t forget to go on campus tours and contact admissions officers. Admissions officers love that sort of stuff. They call it “Demonstrated Interest” and will keep you on their profile when the admissions process begins.</p>

<p>Oh and could you chance me as well?</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I’ve been trying to show as much interest as possible. I’m planning a few visits now, so we’ll see how they go! But absolutely, give me like 2 minutes and I’d be happy to :)</p>

6

<p>bump… any other opinions?
I can chance back if you’d like!</p>

<p>The only thing you can do now is up the test scores.</p>

<p>Would anyone else mind giving their input? I will chance back!</p>
