<p>Hi my name is jack Smith im applying to the brooklyn college Ba-Md progam and I was wondering if you can let me know what my chances are. Thank you so much!
I go to a private high school Im currently a junior but im applying this year (one year earlier)<br>
I went to a very religious elementary school that had no focus on secular studies and I had to work like crazy to be able to catch up with the other students. I spent my summer after 8th grade with 4 tutors to catch up on everything I missed. And for 9th grade they put me in honors (class B) and I worked hard and got good graders then for 10th grade they brought me up to high honors(class A) and then finally for 11th grade I got put in to Ap physics which is normally only offered to 12th graders. So I had to overcome a lot to get to where I am now. And I went from the bottom (an elementary school with no secular education) to the top (taking Ap physics a 12th grade course as a 11th grader) (this is going to be what my personal essay is going to be about)</p>
<p>Gpa:
91 unweighted (my school doesnt weight grades) (I know this might look low but remember the situation Im in(what I just said above) and my school has four classes and Im in the highest one and I dont think anyone has higher than a 94 average in my class. The teachers are very strict graders)

<p>Now like I said earlier Im going to apply this year as a junior to the program (I asked the director of admissions (DR. Silbering) for permission and I told him my course load and he said Im eligible to apply) but if I dont get in ill apply again in 12 grade like normally So what do you think of my stats? What are my chances of getting in this year? I still technically have a year so is there anything I should improve on?</p>
