<p>I wasn't expecting to do this, but I asked a few more questions about admissions, and my profile seemed a bit different, possibly stronger. Anyway, I would've posted an updated profile on one of my older threads, but the first is buried somewhere, and the second turned into a chance thread. </p>
<p>So, here is my profile. I'd greatly appreciate it if you guys could tell me my strong points and rate my schools (you know, the usual safety, match, reach, and whatever). (For Columbia and UPenn, please chance me individually for SEAS and college (of arts and sciences). I'd ask this for all schools, but it doesn't matter for the other.)</p>

<p>Recommendations:
[quote]
1. AP US History teacher, he writes amazing recommendations, is a Columbia grad, I expect this to be amazing as my friend who got in to Dartmouth said this rec was amazing, and I turned my grade around right at midterms so he knows I work hard
2. AP Chemistry teacher, to cover the science part and show my interests
3. Yearbook teacher, she knows me very well, she'll give a nice portrait

<p>Essays will be good by my standards, but I'm a great writer, or so I've been told. I hate to be pompous and such.</p>
