I’ve been reading through a lot of the forums on college confidential and I’m astounded by the depth of knowledge these forums possess. Since that’s the case, I’d like to know if I stand a good chance for the colleges I’ve applied to.
For all of the colleges that I’ve listed, I’d like to also mention I am applying for their computer science programs. What I’d also like to know besides my chances of getting in is also the chance of me obtaining full tuition or full ride to any of these institutions.

[] Essays: Extremely polished essays. Had multiple English teachers as well as friends peer edit my essay without losing my own voice within the essay.

[] Counselor Rec: Generic but still excellent
[] Hooks (if any): None really unless being and ORM (Over-Represented Minority) counts… That and the fact I support my family by working in their restaurant right after school 6 out of 7 days a week. I don’t know if that really impacts the admissions decision however I did incorporate that aspect in some of my admission essays.
