<p>It's hard when you put a percentage on it. I'd say you seem like a very strong candidate, but I'm unsure of their requirements and how competitive their applicants usually are.</p>

<p>How are you a "at risk" applicant? Care to clarify?</p>

5

<p>my score is outside of the average, I just put at risk at a whim because I am not one of the stronger candidates, standardized tests wise.</p>

6

<p>Ahh. "At risk" I thought it was a little...well...riskier, as in, personally, not academically.</p>

7

<p>nope sorry for the misleading title</p>

<p>anyone else????????????</p>

<p>Disregard this, the title was confusing people. I guess people didn't know I meant academically at risk versus crazy at risk. please refer to:
