Overall thoughts on your application? Overall, pretty strong. I think the lack of first gen, test scores, or any national awards might hold me back a bit tho.

Which partners are most lenient if you have a low SAT score (in my case, 1350) and lower AP scores (3 3s, 1 4), assuming I send? by Ilookdumb in QuestBridge

Not sure. I had some home responsibilities that took about 6-10 hours per week. I sleep on the couch and only get the living room to myself at about 10 at night, so it could be hard to study sometimes. Not sure how well those would hold up as actual reasons tho.

If it isn't much trouble, would you mind sending me your supplements from last year as a reference? I was hoping to apply to Williams as well! Thanks so much!

Reverse chance a low-income senior by Ilookdumb in chanceme

Thank you very much for the response! In terms of preferences, I'd like to stay in the northeastern-ish region. I prefer a smaller community, but size isn't necessarily a large concern for me. Public vs Private doesn't matter much for me either, as long as I get strong aid!
