My main essay is why i've become a vegetarian and my concern for environmental awareness..it turned out pretty well
Short Answer was about Art All State and how it helped me decide to continue with art in college (Have taken 4 honors art courses at my school)
Sent in portfolio of art work (13 paintings and drawings, most from my current concentration about science and art)
***Crew Coach at Bowdoin is writing a letter to admissions but since its a club sport he doesn't have a lot of influence
Sent in optional Athletic Supplement</p>

<p>that's a lot of info but i'd appreciate it if someone could take the time to read through it and let me know what they think...</p>

<p>Brandeis seems like a slight reach. Your SATs are almost perfectly average at Brandeis. But the GPA's a it low, hence the slight reach.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if you should go test optional at Bowdoin. Your GPA is a still a bit low for Bowdoin. With or without SAT's, Bowdoin's a reach.</p>

<p>SAT's and GPA are kinda low for Tufts, so that's also a reach, a bigger one than Bowdoin.</p>

<p>And I don't know enough about Connecticut College, so IDK, although, I think its the least competitive of all the colleges you listed, so I'd say its more of a match???</p>

<p>actually i think bowdoins a little more reachy than tufts, but both are reaches...</p>
