<p>So I've submitted my app to CMU and JHU and Northwestern, etc. I'm believe I'm on the low end of their applicant pool, but I've been told I still have a shot. </p>
<p>I want to increase my chances. Fall semester just finished, so the last grades they'll see are fixed. </p>
<p>And I can't just wait for two months. It's going to eat me alive if I don't do everything possible to get into the schools I love. </p>
<p>So what can I do?</p>
