<p>lol you cant just leave out your grades!</p>

3

<p>Haha okay…uum 95.5 overall (unweighted)…all A’s except for a C in AP physics :/</p>

4

<p>Herro! I think you have decent chances. That C will definitely hurt, but I think you’ll still get in to at least a couple of those schools.</p>

5

<p>If you are being recruited to row, good shot at all.</p>

<p>If not, I’d say you have a shot at all but H and Y. At those they want vals and near perfect scores without a hook.</p>

<p>If it’s a true safety and you like it, it’s enough. Make sure it’s also a financial safety. Good luck!</p>
