<p>I disagree...I think you have an average chance, if not above average. You have some interesting hooks- first generation, tri-lingual immigrant. Being from NC isn't a huge advantage, but it is an edge. And your stats are above average. Your ECs could be better, but if you present them well and write good essays, I think you have a great chance.</p>
