<p>I think your chances are very good! Your ECs are nice. Not the most outstanding things I’ve ever seen on CC but very good. I would need to know what your unweighted GPA was to better assess…hmm…decent test scores but maybe take a few SAT subject tests in areas you know you will do well in to boost your numerical stats. AP curriculum is admirable to me since I have few APs, but its true value would depend on how many APs your school offers. Your post showed hints of hardship such as working a part-time job, recovering from an illness, etc., but I couldn’t get a clear picture on who you were. Make sure that you really show that in your college essays since such stories could give your accomplishments context and more meaning. Best of luck! Chance back!</p>
