Are you a recruited or possible athlete? This would obviously help a lot.

Additionally, since you are international, I think making your essays extremely unique is great. Standing out is key.

@1whatsmyname1‌ Sadly, no…I got into the process too late…I decided to apply to the US in mid-September…Anyway my essay is about overcoming stammering and playing a lead role in a play performed in front of thousands, the struggle and the joy…and how it affected me…I am award winning writer (at school level), and I have never written anything as good as this ( in my opinion).

@1whatsmyname1‌ Do I stand a chance at the Ivies and Stanford?

If the list is too long, chance me only at the schools you feel like doing…but do give your opinions

Anybody out there?

You were right the first time; the last one was your final thread. Closing this as it is duplicative.
