<p>You have very similar stats to mine. In fact, out test scores are identical, except I had a few extra APs. Granted, that was three years ago, and it's gotten tougher, but I would say if I had a shot, you would you.</p>

<p>In other news, I might be going to grad school for English/Irish literature, and am profoundly interested in James Joyce (I'm currently in Dublin doing a ton of Irish literature stuff) and am also interested in your essay. Was it "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"?</p>

<p>Yup, Portrait of the Artist.
Did you apply RD or EA</p>
