<p>Bump! </p>

<p>I am also considering Georgetown if that helps clarify what reach schools I am applying to.</p>

<p>just wondering: what’s quill and scroll society?</p>

<p>Sorry! </p>

<p>Quill and Scroll is pretty much NHS for individuals involved with journalism programs. It is pretty tough to get into - only one is nominated from our paper each year.</p>

<p>Academics are good, dont need to worry about that SAT too much with that gpa/courseload. Your EC’s are amazing, a hook for sure at your schools. With that said, you have a very good chance at all schools except HYPS --for those four, its luck.</p>

<p>ok sounds good. i can only give you info based on what happened to me you are pretty much higher up in every aspect than i was (SATs, ECs) except rank (I was val. and you might be I don’t know). I got rejected from Stanford EA and I got into Penn. Stanford didn’t surprise me but that was one hard application and I kind of wish I hadn’t spent my time on it but since you like to write it will prob be better for you. obviously Penn is a reach for everyone but I think you would be fine there.</p>
