<p>**not bad enough for learning disability, but kinda interesting: have synesthesia, which affects my math ability. basically all numbers and letters are colored, and i see colors for every sound i hear. neurological/genetic anomaly.</p>

<p>Didn't you start a chances thread a few months ago? I think it was pugachev who remarked that the school's psychology department might wish to take a look at you.</p>

<p>Your EC's look decent, but we can't give you concrete opinions until you have some standardised test scores (I can see your PSAT score, I know, but that doesn't count for much)</p>

<p>alright, yeah, i wasn't sure if my chances would change since i got my junior year scores. </p>

<p>i'll come back senior year and ask when i have my actual SATs.</p>
