<p>i think, stats and EC wise, your app is nearly impeccable, it's just that it seems very laundry list like and with nothing really unique to it you know?
the best way you can make up for this is to really show personality and passion in your essays and have your recs be stellar. </p>

<p>chance me back?

<p>your ECs are fine. I've read enough of these chance thread to tell that your ECs are definitely not laundry-like.</p>

<p>Bump? 10 Char</p>

<p>Yeah, your ECs are not a laundry list, they're great. Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and MIT are going to be reaches mainly because of the ridiculous competition that they have. I wouldn't be surprised if you got into at least one though.</p>
