<p>Just make sure your essays definitely are great.</p>

<p>Thanks for the VERY quick response J73inspace. </p>

<p>It's really just the math that is stopping me from believing that I will be accepted at schools like Vassar and Haverford where I meet all of their other qualifications nicely. And for schools like Amherst and Brown worry me even more.</p>

<p>I'm a college mess right now, so helping others takes my mind off of me for a little bit. I like to help others though, so it's a win win.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Tenering, your strong ecs (especially the marketing club/show strong character) and awards may go along way with some of these schools. I think you will get into some of them and agree with J73 that the essays may be the key. Good luck!</p>
