<p>You have a great chance.
I would honestly say that you’re almost in, I say almost because I can’t know for sure, but your stats look great!
But since we are more than a number and blah, blah, blah, and all that jazz, then I must say that your awards seem good, and your EC’s are not amazing, but they show what you love to do, which shows the admin person that who you are, and what you can offer to BU.</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>
