<p>I would say you have an excellent chance. Your GPA is very strong, your test scores are as well and your ECs are pretty good as well. Make sure you do well on the essays and you should have preferred admissions. On a side note, I find it really funny that you have all As and A+ in tough classes like Calc and Bio but you happen to have 1 A- and that’s in what is arguably your easiest class, Phys Ed.</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>about gym… I got unlucky that year and had a really spontaneous teacher who randomly assigned grades. Some students who participated much less than me got A+ and some who participated more got Bs… and freshman year, I had a really hard gym teacher thus no A+. Last year I was blessed with a teacher who loved my class and got everyone to enjoy gym, thus A+. Yup that’s how it works at my school.</p>

<p>You definitely have a good shot. Ross pre admit is just as competitive as top ivies though so nothing’s for sure.</p>
