Participated in the CTY Civic Leadership Institute, which basically means I went to Baltimore and did community service but since it was "service learning" got zero hours from it. This is basically the source of my essay.</p>
<p>Before Senior Year

21-127 Concepts of Math - A
15-211 Data Structures and Algorthms - A
33-101 Science and Sci Fi - A</p>

<p>The overall reason for this chance request is basically to figure out how much my abysmal GPA is going to hurt me, when I know I can perform at the college level. I've already applied to Carnegie Mellon, and I want to know my chances for Stanford, Harvey Mudd, Caltech, MIT, Rutgers, and CMU I guess. </p>
<p>Also I would like to know whether anyone else has heard of anyone with this kind of profile and how it ended up for them</p>
