<p>you have very good chances especially with being a urm and your possible essay topics. even if you werent a urm, you would still have a solid chance b/c you have VERY solid test scores. Just be careful that you don’t come off as whiny when writing your essays. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you are in everywhere. The only suggestion I’d have is to maybe change the essay topics. You have obviously overcome an amazing amount of adversity, but your essays should emphasize you and your personality. You don’t want to seem like your looking for sympathy. Good luck. :)</p>

<p>I bet you’ll get into all of them with decent recs and essays</p>
