Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Hello, I am a rising senior who wants to major in International Relations (probably on the east coast). I love French, and will probably make it my minor. My school is extremely uncompetitive, and out of the 500 seniors who graduate every year, maybe 3 go to a top 10 school. I want to do NROTC (why has limited my options unfortunately) and become a naval officer, and once I retire I would like to go into politics. I appreciate any responses and look forward to your outlook on my future. I know I’m not a perfect applicant, I don’t really have any major awards other than NMSF to speak of, and I don’t have any amazing talents, but I put my heart and soul into my High School years and I can’t wait to go off to college.</p>

<p>Your stats are all great, and it looks like you’ve volunteered a good deal…Stanford is ridiculous for everyone, but I think you have a good chance at all of those</p>

<p>Sorry, though, don’t know much about the NROTC</p>
