<p>Hey Kevin! Your scores and grades are solid for most schools. I need a list, however, to judge.</p>

<p>You have unique EC’s, and I like that – a lot of volunteering and government involvement.</p>

<p>Are you sure that writing about a killing is a good idea? It seems like a very sensitive topic. Do more research about this.</p>

<p>The Ivies will always be a stretch for everyone. But, on paper, you look like an ideal candidate. Regardless, it looks like you will be attending a fabulous school the fall after next.</p>

<p>Don’t focus too heavily on the Ivies alone. A lot of LACs and other top universities can also offer the same sort of liberal arts education that the Ivies all offer. I would recommend that you take a look at the University of Chicago.</p>
