<p>Quite a good chance - your academic profile is very solid, and your GPA/class rank advertise that well. The community service you've done is also a good support for your app.</p>
<p>Wow, Lisette, with stats like those, you can pretty much get into any college you want to. Especially since you applied early. Your scores are impressive and you have many leadership positions, which always helps. Being president of the Ambassador Club is something, but being secretary of Aspiring Authors is really amazing; that's a really prestigious club to put on your application. Maybe you should get the President to write you an extra letter of recommendation! That will get you in for sure! :)</p>
<p>I know, JR07, isn't that weird? LOL I lived in North Carolina junior year only, and the whole educational system down there was totally different. So it was actually possible to have a 6.0. I guess I should probably update my stats for this year...my recalculated GPA is 3.995 uw and 4.35ish weighted-AP classes weighted regularly this time :-) Class rank is now 5 uw/3 w out of about 470.</p>
