I wrote one of my essays over a chronic rare disease I was diagnosed with my sophomore year and how I have worked to overcome the boundaries and challenges of it. The other essay I wrote was over my concern of socio-economic diversity in which I referenced some of my favorite philosophers and economists. I had SEVERAL people read my essays (teachers, counselors and a lawyer) to help me make the best I could possibly write. I had a teacher with two doctorates tell me my essay over economics was profound.

Please let me know! I would love to get to know my chances, as I am very nervous to hear decisions.

Very low chance with that GPA and SAT scores.

You’ve got a chance! Depends on how much of a hook your essays turn out to be/if you’ve drawn a good thread through your ECs and essays or recommendations. GPA and SAT are a bit low but that can be picked up by other things if they so choose :slight_smile: it’s up to luck

Don’t let people on college confidential convince you to not apply to a school you really want to go to, but your chances aren’t amazing, so be sure to have a backup plan. If you are a male your chances are also higher.
