Honest, data-backed view of how admissions actually work here. Here is what would make your application as competitive as possible.

Things that would move your odds the most

    Depth beats breadth at selective schools — one nationally-visible accomplishment outperforms ten clubs.
  2. Strengthen one teacher recommendation
    A specific, personal letter from a teacher who knows your work moves the needle.

Probability is based on a model trained on historical admissions data. It is a guide, not a guarantee. Admissions decisions weigh essays, recommendations, and fit factors that aren't in the data.
