<p>No idea why you included lesbian, that makes no difference, but your GPA isnt great and you have no standardized test scores so I definitely don’t think you’d make it, sorry</p>

<p>Hooks are good. ECs are good. Grades are bad. To give you an idea, Stanford admits only 3% of those with sub-3.7 GPAs, many of whom are athletic recruits. It isn’t totally insurmountable, but you better be amazing in every other area. And like curing cancer amazing.</p>

<p>@drose. She included it because it will help her. Colleges admit a higher percentage of people who are homoesexual than those not. They claim that it increases diversity. She has the diversity part down in almost all respects. However, grades will hurt her and I beleive that it is still a long shot. But who knows? They may need a black lesbian to fill their quota.</p>
