Class rank: Unweighted, 63; weighted, 61 of about 360 students

<p>I’m not sure what I want to major in but I have an interest in biology (more specifically, genetics), international affairs, peace/justice studies, and the arts in general. I’ve been a strong writer for much of my life, so maybe something in journalism too.</p>

<p>Anyone have an accurate guess as to what my chances of getting in are? I’m applying for early decision this year… will that help my chances at all?</p>

<p>It’s going to be challenging for you. Your SAT is well below-the-line and your class rank is OK but not spectacular. ED will certainly help. Make sure you have an interview and come prepared and make it a good one.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
