'Averages' for so few admits are inherently dubious. I noted how the Berkeley survey sample size is ridiculously small (and of course based off a self-selecting methodology); that's more than enough to decide that we should not make conclusions from them.

<p>Oh please, if you wish to complain about my assumed stature on this board, I need only direct you to the complaints of a similar assumption on your part.</p>

I'm pretty sure it is a little pretentious of you to assume that HLS is too high a goal for someone just because of their first 2 years of college. And considering your background, I wouldnt have expected you to say such discouraging comments

<p>Considering my background? Sure, I came from a pretty obscure college; however, that misses the point. I came from there with a 3.92. If gabe came from CCC with a 3.9 or a 4.0, like a lot of these other CCers, I would not be saying this!</p>
<p>Bottom line: a 3.5 is not going to cut it for HYS. Heck, it probably will not cut it for the top 10. If Gabe wants a shot, he need straight As for the next two years. Knowing No</p>
