<p>I’m very sorry but your chances are awful. Your scores are abysmally low (whenever you have 500’s, you’re in hot water), your GPA is weak and your “hook” isn’t a hook at all. A lot of the applicants are Jewish. Your strength: you know what you want to do and if you used your AP-Lang-5 rhetoric, that might squeeze you in.</p>

<p>Ah well, it was pipe dream anyway.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t be able to go (most likely) anyway even if I was accepted. Too much money and no chance of aid. </p>

<p>And being Jewish is technically a “hook” in a Christian based school that wishes to “diversify.” In theory. XD</p>

<p>Thanks for being honest though.</p>

<p>Thats not cool, you definitely have a shot</p>

<p>I have a 790 CR, 750 W, 600 M (best)</p>

<p>and an 87% GPA unweighted.</p>

<p>i’ve taken 6 APs.</p>

<p>And I got into Dartmouth with a likely letter and the London School of Economics.</p>

<p>And hell, I’m jewish!</p>

<p>So think before you say things like that.</p>
