Very Worried, Chance Me?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I, like most seniors, am very anxious for Thursday and the decisions associated with it. I was wondering if you could please chance me for Duke, Vanderbilt, and Harvard. I have so far been waitlisted at Wash. U St Louis, Northwestern, accepted Purdue and Michigan Engineering, and denied Stanford REA. Thanks!</p>

<p>Essays: I really like my common app one. Its about the troubles i faced with having a classic car as my first car and how the issues I faced taught me to see the best in things. English teacher loved it. My Harvard essay is pretty good, about going from unathletic kid to setting middle school pull up record and becoming lacrosse captain. Other essays were decent.</p>

<p>Letters: Pre calc teacher-decent, kind of generic. APUSH Teacher-very good, she talked about Model UN and how hard I worked in APUSH, overcoming a large concussion junior year, and my heavy involvement. </p>

<p>I know the decisions are in 3 days, but it would put my mind at rest to know what to expect. Thanks a ton!</p>

<p>Thanks! I’ll consider this week a success is just one of these schools says yes.</p>

<p>Don’t accept Duke or Vanderbilt with just giving up hope on Harvard. You may very well be accepted!</p>

<p>@wannabefeynman That’w what I’m hoping. My interviewer gave me a 50/50 shot. Not sure how much of that was honest but her said I have a lot better chance then a lot of the students he talks to. I guess I’ll find out Thursday!</p>
