<p>Was told my essays were fantastic (by AP teacher, counselor, etc.)
- wrote about beginning of senior year when mother kicked me out and it motivating me</p>

<p>So.... I already know my chances are slim to none, but what do you all think?</p>

<p>it sounds like your essay really was good. it’s hard to tell not knowing about your school, but i got in from a highly competitive private school and my course load was a lot heavier. i also have the hispanic hook. i think you do have a chance, everyone does with a good enough story and ecs but having any d on your transcript is automatically going to put you in a maybe or no pile. i hope you go somewhere where you’re happy even if it’s not vandy!</p>

<p>Not looking good. Your best bet is to transfer from a 4-year, assuming you can maintain a high GPA at the collegiate level.</p>

<p>If you know your chance is slim, then why bother posting this?</p>

<p>Hahahaha, I copied this template from elsewhere, and it was probably yours lol. I’m actually Biology and Vocal Music - sorry!</p>

<p>And I posted it to see if I was being hard on myself or if I really had not shot, that’s all.</p>

<p>seriously…what’s the point of posting this? it’s not going to change anything since you’ll be getting a decision soon.</p>

<p>your chances look slim…good luck though! :)</p>
