wow, you got a lot of stuff under your belt. but i think your GPA and test scores could be a little bit higher. have you taken the ACT? some kids do better on ACT than SAT and vice versa. and then there's some kids who don't do well on either...like me... anyway, you look very good in all other areas. just keep truckin'

[hornetguy]

Probably get the same answers you got on the CC forums. ;)

You have a 57.576434624% chance.


Hope this helps

I think that if you continued to do well and school and picked up your test scores, you would have a real good chance. Just my opinion though. Pick up some SAT or ACT books.

actually...i did the math and if im not mistaken your somewhat off...its a better chance then that.

its 60.08493823176%...just correcting you

I think the same as what others are posting:
The application looks decent. But there is likely to be A LOT of candidates with extremely similar stats. You may be falling into the mid-pack of the average candidate group.
