So my weak points are obviously bad writing skills, I still have trouble in writing my SOP. I really find it difficult to express myself in many words. I really prefer numbers and non open questions.
My strengths would be strong quantitative skills
I don't know if I am overestimating myself so that I included top 10 schools.
