Hey Guys!
I have applied to 12 colleges and was wondering my chances at my reach/match schools. I’ve already been accepted to Mount St. Mary’s, Washington College, and Pitt. So I do have back up schools.
I’m wondering about Brown, Vandy, Hopkins, Wake Forest, and Maryland (in-state and applied with priority deadline).

Essay and Recs:
I think my common app essay was quite good and disclosed a bit about my life and how my childhood has shaped me into the person I am today due to medical condition of family member --> interest in medicine
My supplements I think were solid.
Recommendations should be good. I have a solid relationship with both teachers and my counselor.
Thank you so much! Best of luck to the class of 2015 and transfers!
