<p>You are so well rounded. Don’t be stressed. It’s tough to say what schools you will get into because the schools you are applying to are very hard to get into. However, I feel you will get into at least 60% of them. Congrats on your accomplishments, and don’t be stressed because you’ll get into some great colleges.</p>
