<p>Essays are really good, and I actually got to read most of my recs, and they're all great (two of them are even 2 pages!). I had the state rep for whom I interned write me a rec letter as well; he's a Brown alum. I know my GPA/rank will pull me down, but my GPA is largely due to taking the most challenging courses offered (even IB electives), and you don't get weighted GPA points until junior year. I have two C's on my transcript, but they are 79's and from Freshman year. I've also taken 5 classes at the community college throughout high school. </p>

<p>I'd really appreciate if you chanced me, and I'll be sure to chance back! :)</p>

<p>GPA made me think no immediately to Brown and Tufts, but the rest of your app heavily makes up for it. You should get in everywhere except maybe Brown; it’s a crap shoot as I’m sure you know.</p>

<p>Chance me back?</p>

<p>I think you will get in everywhere but Brown, which is a reach because of your low GPA. Please chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1703807-chance-me-for-usc-notre-dame-boston-college-duke-georgetown.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1703807-chance-me-for-usc-notre-dame-boston-college-duke-georgetown.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
