what have your target schools and touro told you about your application chances?

I haven’t asked them, how would I go about that?

I have not, but I have their contact information. I am not sure what’s considered the proper etiquette? Like what would I email to them, you cant just ask what are my chances or anything I can improve right? Im not sure what is allowed or considered overstepping. Id greatly appreciate if you could share.
