What are my chances?
Hi everyone,
I’m a bit nervous about this upcoming cycle, and as it gets closer and realer I’m getting even more anxious. (I’m a New Jersey resident, and male, for the record). I’m just looking for some completely honest, unbiased feedback on my application.

My main concern is the scarcity of NJ seats in every out of the state school. Is this enough to set myself apart? What are some things I need to work on over the next few months?
