<p>Thank you in advance for your help! I am really looking forward to attending a good writing/english major school!</p>

<p>Please, anyone? I really just want to know if the schools I picked are a good fit for me and/or if they have strong writing programmes?</p>

<p>You’re great!
I’d say work on your extracurriculars, and perhaps aim at better schools. You have good potential…you just need to polish yourself more.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! I will do that.</p>

<p>add more safer matches… i know a few people with similar credentials who have been rejected from carleton and vassar. anyways other than that your profile seems fine. good luck.</p>
