<p>Don’t even bother, you have zero chance. Lol, jk. Your SAT and IB scores look good and your GPA is fine too. I’m not very familar with all the ECs your taking but they seem OK, as well. Leadership positions may help though. Over all a FANTASTIC chance. I almost wish my grades were as good as yours, but I’m kind of a slacker. :)</p>

<p>Care to Chance Me?
