<p>Hi, I'm in the middle of the application process and I'd love to hear what kind of chances I have for Tufts, William and Mary, University of Richmond, and Claremont McKenna. I'm really excited about these schools, as well as American University, George Washington University, Villanova, and Santa Clara. I'm also applying to Georgetown SFS, but at this point it's more to know that I gave it a try. I've worked on my ACT score for years, but I have always greatly struggled with math and science. </p>

<p>I am a strong writer, and I would say that my essays are creative and well-written.
Excellent recommendation letters from my teacher/MUN advisor and my French teacher who I am very close with. </p>
<p>I'd love to hear what everyone thinks! I know these Chance Me posts are a little annoying sometimes, but I only applied EA to a few less selective schools, so I'm really curious to hear some different opinions before this spring! </p>
