numbers don’t lie melin. what’s the highest rating you held at some point in your life? One of my close friends was ranked #6 in Canada and he only got into NYU with decent everything else. Now that guy is legit- had a u of chicago professor as his sponsor and competed in tournaments around the world. And yet, NYU, not saying that’s not a good school.
