<p>My confidence was a little shaken today and I was wondering what my chances were at schools like UC Berkeley and Emory. My current number 1 choice is Stanford though.</p>

<p>Subjective:</p>
<p>Essays: Writing is not really in my skill set but I worked hard on them
Teacher Recs: I think both like me. I read one and it was very nice but not exceptionally well written. The other one knows me well and is my mentor for my senior project, but I have no idea what she wrote.
Counselor Rec: Good(?) - Her daughter use to babysit me when I was a child so I've known her for a while.
ECs: I worked for a year and a half at a local pharmacy (16 hours a week). I currently work at a law firm (10 hours a week). I teach underprivledged kids proper nutrition and about diverse by teaching them how to cook (6 hours a week). I ran varsity croos country for 2 years and JV for one (damn stress fracture). I also did a summer program at Northwestern for 2 years and one at Cambridge.
Hook (if any): I have a senior research project with the Buehler Center on Aging which is part of Northwestern's Medical School. I researching the connection between leisure activities and dementia.</p>
