<p>After pouring a good two and a half years of my life into this forum and growing from a naive sophomore to a somewhat more worldly senior... This is it. These are the stats, grades, extracurriculars, etc. that colleges will see from me. So for the last time, with decisions due within months, nothing I can change at this point, I'm asking you, the people of CC, to have a go at chancing me!</p>
<p>The basics..

- Ohio resident.

- Offers a few honors classes and 2 AP's, both senior year only</p>
<p>The stats..

<p>Essays..
I thought they were pretty good, showed a lot of personality and maybe not as much what my professional goals are, though.</p>
<p>Recommendations..
1 pretty average from a history teacher, 1 amazing from math teacher/debate coach
Counselor rec was decent.</p>
<p>Also, after I was deferred from Brown, I sent them a nice recommendation letter from my superintendent and wrote a heartfelt letter that elaborated on my essays and went into more detail about why they're still my first choice.</p>
<p>I applied to the arts & sciences school at every college I applied to.. Some as undecided, some as a Communications major or something similar.. I'm not really sure what I want to do as of yet, so that's about it!</p>
