Essays/LORs/Other
I belive that my LORs will be about average to maybe slightly better, but I’m confident that they are not bad. I believe my essays are quite good though. I have put lots of work into them and have had them be looked at many times.

Some safeties
I am hoping for Davidson. I have visted it and love it. I’m not sure if my low gpa will hold me back or if I am able to compensate in other ways. Besides that, if anyone has and recommendations in how to adjust the order of my extracurriculars please share.
