<h2>Hey. First off, i really appreciate your help in evaluating me. Im really nervous about colleges, i applied ED Princeton University and the wait is killing me. In case i don’t get in, Brown is another place that i really admire for its research. What is my likelihood of going here? Do i need to improve on anything? etc.? If there are any other good schools (“match” schools preferably) that match my interests it’d be great if you can mention them as well. Thanks!</h2>
