<p>I’d work on that essay a bit more if you still can to shorten it down, unless you’re using large print. But it sounds like you’re well over 1000 words and most essays are below 800 words. Talk to your college and career center if you have one about doing that.</p>

<p>Oh. Two other important facts:</p>

<p>-The GPA is unweighted as my school does not weight.
-I’ve also won the Principal’s Award twice.</p>

<p>get your sat’s up, EC’s are very good.</p>

<p>Oh I neglected to say this, but the University of the Virgin Islands is really just a safety. I excel beyond all of their medians.</p>

<p>I think any Ivy league schools are hard for anyone to get in but looking at the awards, your GPA, and your EC you are fantastic in those areas so I can see you having a shot but not a clear shot.</p>

<p>For now, I can see you definitely getting into GWU and Occidental, those are locks.</p>
