<p>I think you definitely have a chance. Everything is pretty solid. But it's hard to say for OOS students. It's extremely competitive for you guys. Did you do EA or is this for RD?</p>

3

<p>I did this EA.</p>

4

<p>Oh, lol, sorry, I missed it when I was reading. I think doing EA should give you a better chance :)</p>

5

<p>I think you have a good shot; you are certainly a strong candidate. But OOS can be unpredictable. Good luck!</p>

<p>well this makes me just that much more nervous.
you're in, let's say 80%. and the 20% would just be some fluke thing.</p>

<p>thanks for bringing down my self esteem.</p>

<p>I'm sorry mtsoccer56. I'm just really scared of the whole OOS thing...</p>

9

<p>I would say 95/5 you're in. As long as your essays are good you shouldn't have any problems. I, on the other hand, have something to worry about!! Best of luck to you wherever you end up!</p>

<p>bump? (10 char)</p>

<p>You're looking good.</p>

<p>Good luck! I'm a somewhat similar OOS. Better scores in some areas, but other things you're stronger in. It's so hard and (can be) unpredictable OOS, so best of luck to the both of us. I'm counting down the days til Jan15.</p>
