<p>Teacher Recs: One is from my English/Shakespeare Teacher, Newspaper sponsor, and faculty advisor. She knows me very well, so I expect a great recommendation.
The other is from my Latin teacher and my school’s Dean of Students. It should be great as well.</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: I went on a week-long trip with him, so I think he will write a good one.</p>

<p>I had a great interview with a Rice alumnus.</p>

<p>I haven’t written my essays yet, but my greatest strength is writing.</p>

<p>I’m also applying to Yale, Brown, UVA, William and Mary, Wash U, Columbia, and Pomona.</p>

<p>To me, it looks like you have a great shot. However, I am also a high school senior, so I don’t know much better than you would. If you were trying to decide whether or not to apply, definitely apply, I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>travistag, things like “good chance” and “great shot” mean nothing in the chancing world. They are the equivalent of “yeah, im doing pretty well.” which gives you absolutely no insight into the real situation. </p>

<p>But seriously redcoat, you do have a pretty good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Westham, you just told travistag that “good chance” means nothing in the chancing world, then you turn around and say that he has a “good chance”…what’s up with that?</p>
