<p>Please post what kind of grades and everything you have, I'm not asking for an autobiography though. </p>
<p>I don't want all your "professional" opinions on my chances. I just want to know how I stack up against the people who have already gotten in. Also does anyone have a link to the site with the statistics of the class of 2009? Thanks.</p>
<p>Here's the link to the NU site
