<p>Jlaine, I don’t mean to sound rude, but you’ve posted countless chance threads all over this forum! Regardless of what advice we give you, we can’t truly predict your chances. We’re not admissions officers. </p>

<p>Work hard, stay focused, improve your tests scores, and get involved! That’s all you need to do.
Whatever happens, happens.</p>
