Essays

Writing on a unique topic, might say its 8/10. Taking essay help from mentors.

Colleges

• Stanford
• Harvard
• MIT
• Oxford
• Yale
• Princeton
• UPenn
• Cornell
• Imperial
• Columbia
• Caltech
• Brown
• UC Berkeley

Note: Where should I ED/REA for the maximum chance of acceptance, also my list is too top heavy because I have safeties in other countries, I only want one of these so please recommend a school out of these (or any other school if there is a better match) so I can be done in Early round only. Thanks!

Essays:

Haven't written any except common app. Wrote about my thoughts during bullying.

Rec Letters:

CS teacher - 10/10 fs.
Math teacher - 8/10, not so great in school math, acc to how much i think i should be =(
Counsellor - 9/10, I meet them regularly and good repo
Math prof - 8/10, been discussing with him since last 2 years.

Notes

Any feedback is appreciated. Won't be applying to safeties as I already have offers from schools in other countries. Also I am not really sure of which school fits my vibe because as of now I don't have that great of Olympiad achievements for MIT/Caltech (since im intl) and haven't founded any companies for Stanford, neither have I done a ton of humanitarian work for Harvard or Yale. I still love the symsys major at stanford because it feels like something I would have created as a major for people like me. Thinking of REA to Stanford. I will be grateful for any advice on anything since I am applying this fall.
