Chances for admission?

I’m an incoming freshman and we have almost identical test scores, took the same amount of AP classes, and took part in very similar extracirriculars (including a balance of club leadership, academics, and varsity sports)…the only significant difference between us is that I was ranked in the top 0.5% BUT that was at a very large public high school, not at a competitive private school such as yours…essentially, you look good, but you’ve heard it before, you have to shine in your essay.

Bottom line, I got accepted early, so I would say your chances are fairly good, just work hard on that essay and make sure you make a wise decision for your SOLE recommendation (other than the counselor’s of course)
