<p>I like your chances at all those schools, other than that C. That’s a bit disconcerting, but other than that, you seem great. Please help me out. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1051937-questions-about-grades-help-me-out.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1051937-questions-about-grades-help-me-out.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think you have a high change of getting into all of them. You’re rank is incredible and you obviously killed on your ACT’s! You have extracurriculars and volunteer work coming from everywhere! I really don’t think that one C will matter. Good Luck!</p>

<p>chance back?

<p>Yeah you seem to be on par numbers wise with those schools. the c may hurt you but with strong essays and focus you can over come it.</p>

<p>goodluck!</p>

<p>I think you will probably get into at least one or two of the schools. You are definitely very qualified, but for the top schools acceptances can be pretty random. Also, anthropology doesn’t (to my knowledge) seem to be a very popular major, especially for guys, so that may help.</p>

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance at most of those schools. penn might be a reach but northwestern and tufts should be do-able</p>
