<p>Hooks:
I'm African-American.</p>
<p>I think you have a really good chance of getting in, but with schools like Stanford you cannot be too sure. Regardless, I think the odds are definitely in your favor.</p>
<p>Its a safety because of that hook…</p>
<p>Yes, you most certainly have a chance.</p>
<p>This strongly smells of ■■■■■. . .</p>
<p>And *** is “Biology EM?”</p>
<p>@Wildcat</p>
<p>There’s two bio exams, Ecological and Molecular. Weirdly enough I scored a 790 on both.</p>
<p>Yes I know they’re two different exams. I should know as I got an 800 on Bio E. It didn’t sound like you really knew how the test worked, and it seems extremely unlikely that you would go take essentially the same test twice, and get the exact same score.</p>
<p>nail the essay and you’re in</p>
<p>what continues to perplex me on CC isn’t only his 790 on biology EM (whatever that is), but how so many posters here claim to be ranked 1st or second at “one of the top schools in the nation”. What? There can only be so many “top schools”, and the fact that all of their top kids find and post on this website seems highly unlikely. Not that i’m questioning your credentials, whoever’s stats those are would probably get in.</p>
<p>I seriously think that many ccers have no common sense. It is so incredibly obvious that this is a ■■■■■. Now stop putting food into the ■■■■■’s mouth.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think we can all agree that this is a ■■■■■ post. But, zziwhcs180, if you’re referring to my post in this sub-forum as well, I’m not lying.
