<p>for all these “chance me” threads: “competitive high school” means nothing without context</p>

<p>but your ranking and UW seem pretty strong as is.
question: if you skipped 10th, you’ll have been in HS for three years when you graduate, right? how have you done some activities for four years (9,10,11,12)?</p>

<p>^^whoops, it was kind of automatic typing in all four years…forgot to change it.</p>

<p>You are a competitive candidate. Certainly not a shoo-in by any means, but I think you’ll be in the mix.
Where does NU fall on your list?</p>

<p>yea you’re competitive but it could go either way. get your Why NU essay out of the way early so you’re not rushing at the last minute to finish it (as will likely happen trust me).</p>
