CHANCE ME!

lol you being jewish does not affect you getting into any of these schools. not unless it has affected you in some profound way and then you write an essay about it. Tufts, Brandeis, and Cornell are the best schools on your list. You might get into Brandeis. Normally, I'd say it's tougher to get into Cornell than Tufts but because you have legacy that definitely helps. So for Tufts and Cornell, it's a throwup. You have great ECs, but the GPA and the SATs are kinda low compared to other applicants. I hope that helps. and take the gym grades out because those won't matter to any college.

could you chance me?
Applying to Wharton.....is there any chance??
