<p>I'm a white female private school student in NYC. My key interests are in media, journalism, and creative writing (fiction/play/screen)--as well as learning as many languages as I can cram into my head. Would anybody terribly mind letting me know what my chances are?</p>
<p>I'm applying to Brown, Yale, USC, Reed, and Vassar--my top five--as well as UChicago, Swarthmore, and Wesleyan.</p>
<p>I'm an incredibly strong writer and the essays I'm working on so far are shaping up to be pretty stellar. (I happened to really luck out on some of the prompts, too.)
My recommendations are also all looking to be remarkably strong.</p>
