i think leaderships pretty good but i dont think im THAT well rounded</p>

<p>i think upenns really high reach, esp because of my grades. same for brown and yale. prob duke also</p>

<p>Well, from what I see here, you are focusing mostly on journalism. So therefore, there is no need for you to amass science credentials because you already have a very impressive track record of writing.</p>

<p>You will be a decent applicant if you have very strong essays and recommendations… choose something to highlight and focus on this summer and in your application… yes, those schools are going to be reaches, but they are reaches to almost everyone… make sure you have some matches and safeties as well and depending on whether or not you need financial aid, look at some matched merit giving schools. Good Luck!</p>
