You have a good shot at any program in the country as far as I’m concerned and I wouldn’t be surprised to see multiple T20 acceptances.

The athletics really stand out to me and I would make sure to emphasize as much as possible. Difficult to maintain a 3.99 at any T20 undergrad, and even more so as a varsity athlete

thank you so much, i really appreciate it and hope you are right! any schools I should remove and/or add? or you think it is good to go as is?

Duke loves D1 athletes with great stats. Make sure to prioritize their secondary so you can send it in on time bc it’s a very long one

I would add Geisel and brown especially if your T20 UG was an Ivy because they seem to like Ivy undergrads for some reason. I feel like georgetown, tufts, slu, arizona, USF may not be necessary.

Add Ohio State and Jefferson. I’d still do USF and Saint Louis as they very well could offer an acceptance. Georgetown and Tufts probably can get taken off.
