<p>My god</p>

<p>NO OMG YOU'RE NOT GETTING INTO COLLEGE AHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

<p>Wait ok I'll be serious now</p>

<p>I got scientists on this man SCIENTISTS with coats and thick glasses and stuff! They gave me a number:</p>

<p>76.22%</p>

<p>That's your chance of getting in.</p>

<p>I hope CC was of service!</p>

<p>I wish....joking aside, what are my realistic shots?</p>

4

<p>just wondering... what's the school name?</p>

5

<p>I used scientists man.</p>

<p>cool.. man your band OWNS</p>

<p>Nice, pretty close.</p>

<p>Anyway I was wondering if I should retake the sat I sicne it wasn't too high.</p>

<p>With the sat scores I have now any input on chances?</p>

<p>competitive schools really need both SAT I and II but since you already have SAT I done, take II first then take I again.. you have a better chance of improving then going down so you have nothing to lose</p>

<p>good luck :)</p>

11

<p>oh and try to get both done by nov. so you can apply ED.. you have a better chance of getting in then</p>

<p>maybe try ACTs too</p>

12

<p>Fine for you 73% chance. I will go no higher!</p>

13

<p>Nice...but can someone give me a realistic estimate of my chances?</p>

14

<p>31.4159% exactly with a possibility of a minus pi/10 plus .314159</p>

<p>aka chances are good</p>

15

<p>Eh, I guess people hate me heh.</p>

<p>Sorry if I seem annoying by asking about the likelihood of acceptance.</p>

<p>(1-1/3+1/5-1/9+1/11-1/13+1/15-1/17+1/19-1/21+1/23-1/25+1/27-1/29+1/31-1/33+1/35-1/37+1/39-1/41+1/43-1/45)*4</p>

<p>IMO, you should retake your SAT I and shoot for 700+ on your SAT IIs. Otherwise,I feel that you have a good chance. The fact that you entirely turned your academics around is a good thing, and make sure that you share with the admissions committee in some way why you did so, etc. Again, your stats look pretty good, but, then again, mostly everyone else's looks like that, so it's all about making yourself stand out in your app, in the end.</p>

<p>For a system of differential equations, if there exists a function E(x,y) which is positive definite, and dE/dt is negative definite, then the solution to the system is stable.</p>
