<p>I think that you have as solid a chance as anyone else, maybe a little better. Rowing, scouts, and Cello are good ECS and everything else is good. Test scores are fine, the middle range. Legacy helps.
I mean what do you want people to say? “You will definitely get in!” Or “you won’t get in”
I mean neither of those are helpful.
If you want to improve your chances, write great essays (sound passionate, not like you’re trying to make a good application), try to get teachers to write great recs, and maybe if you still want to do more you could try to improve test scores a little.
You’re probably fine though.</p>

<p>You’ve definitely got a shot at all of your schools. Are you getting recruited by any of them for rowing? If that’s possible I’d definitely get in contact with a coach if I were you – will increase your chances by a TON :slight_smile: best of luck.</p>

<p>Thanks and I wish I was being recruited. 2 girls on my team are being recruited to Stanford, one girl is being recruited to Brown, and my captain is being recruited to Harvard with a 3.67 and a 2020 on his SAT.</p>
