<p>Interesting. what did you not like about University of Miami? </p>
<p>and for us what about Princeton? is that like IMPOSSIBLE to get into? </p>
<p>do you think that if we had strong essays, that would bump our low reach (middlebury) chances to high target? we have compelling and sad stories to tell.</p>
<p>haha im not essay expert, but im not sure a sob story is the way to go, but who knows</p>
<p>and yeah, maybe, it can make a difference i think…it gives the application a face</p>
<p>hahah by sad, we mean they really changed us, I guess. (the experience) People who have read them have said they are sad… Thanks for all your help. Those suggestions were the best!</p>
