Most of my college app stuff revolves around overcoming my blindness and about my involvement in our music program.

Other:
Majoring in biomedical engineering, I’m legally blind (white cane user), and I currently live on a Native American reservation in the brand spank of nowhere. xD

Colleges:
Reach - Stanford, Princeton, UC Berkeley, Harvard
Match - Arizona State University Barrett, University of Arizona honors
Safety - Northern Arizona University, Grand Canyon University

Wow it sounds like you have an amazing story! Whoever does end up accepting you will really have found a gem.

Are you a registered Native American tribe member?

I would put your chances very high, as high as any applicant I have seen.

WOW! It’s really impressive the fact that you are legally blind and still achieved a lot in your life! You are the real MVP of the day! Man, I believe colleges would be really interested in you! Seriously, I am shocked!
