<p>People with your stats are considered borderline for this year. However, with your EC and URM status, you should be in slightly better position. Next year, the admissions is getting more difficult than this year. I would give you 60-80% chance, if you keep up with your score , GPA and at ACT to be above 29-30 range.</p>

<p>Thank you for your input.</p>

<p>Pretty much agree with kxc. I notice that you are in AP Java and Economics, but does your school offer AP Calculus? That might be the better option to take over than one of the other AP classes, most likely econ.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I qualified for Calc AB (A in regular Precalc), but was advised not to take it. Oh well.</p>

<p>^^ I am pretty sure that you can opt out on the counselor’s opinion to not take the course. After all, this is an opinion. Prove her wrong.</p>
