<p>Please be brutally honest. Ugh I feel like the type of kids colleges hate. Low gpa but above average (maybe?) SATs. Thanks.
After looking over a lot of "What are my chances?" threads, i noticed not a lot of kids are music heavy or even do any music styled things. Strange, as I'm so used to seeing all-region/state,eastern honors for musical kids.</p>
