<p>Hi. ED acceptee here. You are quite right that your SAT would be something of a hindrance. Everything else is good, though :)</p>

<p>So as you may know, the odds of getting in for Ivies are incredibly low. I strongly encourage you to work extra hard on your essays. This will make you stand out. You absolutely HAVE to make sure there is a unique factor to your essay.</p>

<p>In the end though, I think I’m only saying things that you know yourself. Perhaps you are using CC for some positive reinforcement. Absolutely okay. You look like you’re academically motivated, just know you’ll succeed if you keep it up ^_^</p>
