lol I really can’t take you seriously (in a positive way). Your scores are really good. (But race…). Your Ec’s are all over the place. I can’t really tell who you are or what you do. Maybe concentrate on field in your application. But who know’s? Make sure you tell me the outcome
First of all, don’t put stuff on your application that has nothing to do with what you want to be. Yes they want you to be well rounded but they do want to see a pattern in your ECs. I want to look at your app and say “Ah she wants to be a …”. Second, you have a learning disability, which may or may not help your app. Pretty good grades. Your GPA is a little low. Did you apply early?
@HarvardDream101: No need to talk crap. OP, it’s totally fine if there’s less of a discernible pattern in your ECs. It’s not necessary to know exactly what you want to do with your life at age 18. Sounds like you’ve done a lot of things that interested you, which is what matters.
@bruno14 I don’t think I was talking “crap”. Around 60% of college students change their majors. Its totally fine if you don’t know what you want to do with your life, but don’t say your dedicated to be a cook and do only ECS about politics. Thats all Im saying.
You said your interview went well, so I’m assuming you applied early. With that in mind, why bother asking for your chances? You’ll find out Thursday. You know that your scores are all within range. That’s all any of us can really say. Log off CC and be good to yourself. You’ll know soon.
