To be completely honest, I’m not sure why I’m posting a chances thread.
Applications are in, and there’s really not much I can do at this point, but the anxiety of the wait is killing me, and I figured I’d see what you all think!

I applied to a number of schools, including

Holy Cross
Colgate
Pomona
Dickinson
Colby…

and a few safeties.

Chances would be soo appreciated.
