<p>If you want to know where you stand, you are right in there with most of the other applicants. For applicants like you, you pass all the academic qualifications so it becomes about how the admissions committee sees you as a person. This means that they make a decision based on your ECs, essays, and recs. If you wrote some good essays, you have a good shot. Good luck with admissions.</p>
