<p>Looking really good. We have same gpa, act, and are both from CA, and I got in ED. It looks like you have lots of awards and varied interests like poetry, art, and photography that I didn't have, though. I think that the only thing to do at this point is make sure to spend tons of time with your essays. Good luck :)</p>
