I just really need some HONEST feedback

You have a pretty good legacy hook - I don’t think donations (or lack of them) from your dad matter a whole lot (children of large donors are developmental admits which is a whole different hook), a large amount of alumni donations comes from after their children matriculate/graduate.
Your SAT scores are pretty weak especially considering your high school education.
Your math performance is really sketchy, unless you can back at least decent math skills up on your transcript, the 650 SAT math + no math subject/AP’s can kill you especially if you don’t demonstrate significant academic achievement someplace else (your AP scores are really strong on the other side of that balance though)
EC’s are pretty good but not a big pull for a favorable decision; I don’t know how good your visual arts stuff is but if it’s outstanding and you developed that throughout your application, its a plus.


I’d give you a 30-35% chance RD
