<p>hey, i applied too...with the same GPA and rank (my PSAT is a 240 tho). my recs were good except for my guidance counselor one which was kinda last-minute...it was like 2 paragraphs and talked about how i took hard classes and such, pretty obvious stuff...i'm a junior, however, and i think it's easier to get in as a junior. My ECs filled up like 3 pages but I only had about 6 or 7 activities on there...</p>

<p>well according to what ppl say ur stats are probably good enough...ur essay topics sound interesting; i dont think my essay topics were that great IMO...I think u have a good chance if ur essays were good!: )</p>
