<p>I think you stand a great chance especially with your scientifc accomplishments. Perhaps center ur essay on them. I think berkely will be the hardest but perhaps ED will give u a boost and give u as good a chance as most candidates. For engineering have u considered safteties like GA tech. Gl and if possible plz respond to my post Am I ordinary TY</p>

<p>I am also applying to gA tech, though I am still out of state. Do you consider that a safety school? I thought it was on the same level as UC's.</p>
