I have applied to Rutgers, Boston University (honors), NEU, Dual BA program between Trinity College Dublin and Columbia University, and Swarthmore all for regular decision thus far. I also applied to a few schools in England and Scotland, and have been accepted at King’s College London as of right now.

I still have to send applications to NYU, Tufts, Brown, Cornell, Harvard, Pomona, and Princeton.

I have a 4.0 UW and 4.87 W. APs: 5 (APUSH), 5, (APHUG) 4 (Art history), 4 (lang)

Test optional (couldn’t take SAT/ACT)

I had two ex admissions officers from Columbia and Princeton review my app before i sent it to Yale. They said it was stellar and “hoped Yale snapped me up,” but that I shouldn’t expect anything because it’s Yale.
